Yeah, there is one that really bothers me.
In TTT, why do the Ents decide not to go to war at the Entmoot? It is even less believable that when the hobbits show them a lot of tree stumps, that they suddenly change their mind (and just happened to be standing at the edge of the forest to respond to TreeBeard's call). If Treebeard didn't know how much his own forest was being cut down, well, pretty bad tree-herder IMHO.
With dramatic music and sound effects etc, Peter Jackson could probably have done a fairly good job of the tension in the hobbits while waiting(will they help or not?), then the cry for war coming from the Ents.
Such a simple change, with large repercussions. Why did he have to make it?
