But epic CGI battles, yay /puke

As someone who has seen all the movies and read the book, I didn't see that at all. Movies are rarely exactly the book anyways, and even if they were, this wouldn't be plausible with something as grand and epic as LOtR. I think Tolkien would approve of the films.
There are at least two points in the trilogy where Jackson has a character stop the story and recount everything that has happened, is happening, and what it'll mean if it continues to happen.
Jackson was eager to show you all of his cards rather than invite you to guess at what they might be. "Here! The King of Hearts: he has the sword, but he does not want it! He never wanted it!"
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
