No, neither of them were in it.<P>Ok, minor gripe would be I wish Frodo had told Gollum that if he touched him again he would end up in the Cracks of Doom...<P>Major gripe would be Denethor. In the book he was much more cunning, much more nulti-layered. He was grieving- but he was still cunning, he used his grief as a cloak to interrogate Pippin. And he did by no means abandon the cities defences. The beacons were lit and armies summoned. Then in the film...he was a 2D character. Overcome by grief, and that was it. I suppose it highlighted his preference for Boromir over Faramir, but I'm sure John Noble could've coped with a more complex character given the chance. I thought he was very good with what material he had. So why couldn't they have made him even a little more wise? Just so that Pippin could show his worth did not seem too good a reason for me...
