One more thing that has bothered me from the very beginning, and I think I've mentioned this before: why leave the reforging of Anduril until the 3rd film? I admit that it seems more "cinematic", but the idea of having the shards in Rivendell and waiting until film #3 to bring the sword back into the story seems wrong, especially when it is Aragorn's possession of Anduril that proves to the Riders of Rohan just who he is in TTT (the book).
