In a lot of respects what got cut out just focused the story to be more visually dramatic, and tightened up the pacing. Standing around and singing at the drop of a hat, even during battles or being chased by orcs and uruk-hai, would have been the death knell for most viewers.
Yeah, what irritated me the most was making this a journey of self-discovery for a slacker Aragorn. In the book Aragorn was not a slacker, he was just patient waiting for events that might never come. Different, y’know? Still, thought the movies quite good and glad they were made.
