Yeah, much mirth was had at Denethor's expense in the boorish audience I was unfortunately a part of. I think the character came off amazingly well - I was positively afraid of the old loon! All that power and pride gone so terribly wrong. Wow. I especially liked the bit right before Gandalf knocks him out when he's telling his men to despair - did they amplify his voice there, or is he just operatic like that? I wanted to hear more voices like that from the great folk in the movie... anyhow, Bravo on Denethor!
