I agree that Gimli was essentially the Jar-Jar of the LotR series (though nowhere near as bad). The Dwarf tossing line was extremely weak. I'm not sure it's going to be as detrimental to the legacy of the films as you do. Overall, I'd say Jackson did a pretty great job with the material. It's incredibly dense stuff and from a birds eye view he was pretty true to the feel. Tom Bombadill aside -though I admit this is a BIG aside.
