John Noble was, to my mind, the perfect Denethor, although, as Meela said, his feelings towards Faramir were too bluntly conveyed. Furthermore, he came off as entirely villainous and insane, whereas in the book the <I>palantir</I> made him seem slightly more of a victim. I hope the <I>palantir</I> plays a more prominent role in the Extended Edition.<P>I personally enjoyed Gandalf's whomping of Denethor, as well as Denethor's fiery exit.
