[Beanamir of Gondor]

The whole Denethor-beating thing, as Boromir has mentioned, and I think I've probably babbled of in other threads, was just kind of pointless. There was no reason to carry it on that far, other than COMIC RELIEF. Then again, Gimli was stuck in the cave of the Pirates of the Dimholt Mountain, so we hadn't had any comic relief for a while.

Eowyn was one of my favorite characters in the book, and the fact that we completely lost Dernhelm and the element of Merry's surprise ticked me off. Would it have killed them to let Eowyn look like a man for a while, and have Merry be confused??

Again with the tiny little things bothering me... literally, I was saddened at the lack of 'neeker-breekers'. That would have been a fun addition to the scene where Frodo hears Aragorn singing.
