There were a couple of moments that reminded me of LOTR: the Dumbledore falling scene, the flashes after Harry touches the ring etc. But it didn't bother me too much.
I was disappointed that an explaination of what "Half-Blood Prince" means wasn't included in the film, but like it was said before this film is for the people who follow the books and they already know. However, I think there was a missed opportunity to discuss racism in the wizard world.

I pictured the scene differently as well. I'm not really sure why, since I knew better but I was thinking it would be more of an Obi-wan scene. Rickman and Malfroy were just amazing in that scene.

I also had those LOTR moments with the scenes as well as the scene when Harry is pulled into the water. They looked like Gollum to me.

I was also disappointed that they didn't further explain what the Half Blood Prince truly means. It was just said so matter of fact like oh, btw, I am the Half Blood Prince.
