He was fantastic. The tear was great, the interaction with Eowyn was great, everything about him was outstanding. My only problem with him isn't really with him at all, but with PJ. I sort of thought he was rendered superfluous by Saruman's direct "demonic possesion" of Theoden. It really confused someone I was with, who hadn't read the books. Why is he there at all, if Saruman can do that?<P>But he was, IMO, a hugely bright spot in this movie. I liked that PJ chose to portray him as egotistical and self-centered rather than (as I had feared and half-expected) Saruman's evil little brother.
