Denethor? He was never cool to anyone in the books. He was one of the characters they changed around the least.GreySaber said:And in Gondor, they turned the Regent, who was really cool to everyone in the books, into a powerhungry egotisitical *******.
This I completely understand, as much as I didn't like to see Faramir's character impugned. After all, its kind of hard to feel that the Ring has any power when a man can so casually refuse it, especially when the movie can't spend as much time detailing the Ring's mental effects on Frodo. What I didn't like about the resulting scene was how a Nazgul flies away from the Ring when it gets shot with one arrow. THAT was lame.And instead of letting them go with lots of stuff, the guy Frodo and Sam run into decides to do exactly the oppsite of what he did in the book, and take them in.
