I agree about the Denethor deathscene. Remember: "the blood of Numenor runs almost pure in him, and also in Faramir his son." The scenery-chewing lunacy was amusing in its way but I wanted Denethor to be scary, not seedy,dribbling and undignified.<BR>And speaking of OTT silliness, I also disliked the radio-active Palantir. Just a crouching Pippin, a mysterious glow and then a high-pitched cry of "I will send for it at once. Do you understand? Say just<BR>that!" would have been great. <BR>And, while it is more of an omission than an addition, the lack of Tolkien dialogue in the Eowyn/Witch King scene was a crying shame.
