There's so much more than that, lol. The Barrow Downs, the wild men that Aragorn recruited, about 30 years of stuff in the Shire, meeting the elves in the woods, pretty much all of Aragorn's plot is wrong ( he has Narsil from the beginning, he's supposed to be much older, and he doesn't even use the Palantir to challenge Sauron, etc) the other rangers and the Swan Knights are absent... It's a very long and detailed list of inaccuracies and cut jobs.

They did an OK job streamlining the main story for film, but most of the side arcs are completely missing and they made some weird changes with the characters (i.e Frodo is in his 50's in the books, not early 20's). Honestly they did a worse job with The Hobbit, they made a short book into three movies and somehow still missed half the book.
