No Gandalf/Witch King fight
No Sauramon at all in the film (until the EE)
- Wormtongue "kills" him.
No Mouth of Sauron (probably until the EE)
- There has been an actor cast for the role, and the character is even in the game.
No Scouring of the Shire
- Final words of the film are "Well, I'm back."
Frodo sends Sam home after Gollum turns Frodo on his compadre
- In the book, they get sepparated, Sam mistakes Frodo for dead.
Sam doesn't put the ring on directly after mistaking Frodo for dead.
Along with tons of other differences.
Of course, the basic story is still there, but it's not as cut and dry as you seem to play it off as.
