[Guinevere]

I feel exactly like Nurumaiel ! It's the changing of the characters that bothers me ; above all Frodo, Denethor, Aragorn, Faramir and in RotK even Gandalf ! (Has any one else noticed that he is quite without hope in the last debate ?!)
When watching the movies I sometimes feel like I am surrounded by dear old friends affected by schizophrenia : they look so familiar and "right" but sometimes they suddenly talk and behave not like themselves at all.

Like I said in the thread about Gandalf and the Witchking: they made everyone more "human" because they apparently thought those "superhuman" characters, wiser, nobler and less flawed than we are, wouldn't be believable to the movie public. But in changing those characters, they changed something essential about the whole story. (Especially through the altered character of Frodo)
