I feel the same way as a lot of people. While I can see, and understand why PJ felt it necessary to make a change, it was just done badly. Very badly. <P>I objected to Frodo being taken to Osgiliath in the first place, but it just got worse. Not only did Frodo dangle the ring in the Nazgul's face, in which case the Nazgul would probably have killed him and taken it before Sam knocked Frodo out of the way, it just portrayed him as being far too weak. <P>Frodo didn't really become so weak until he was in Mordor, and even then he wasn't that stupid. I also objected to the complete turnaround in Faramir's character, from being portrayed as evil, to suddenly letting him go off to Mordor.<P>All in all..a bad scene. PJ could have found some other means of achieving a suitable climax in that part of the movie.<P>And yes, I rambled.
