I really liked Bernard Hill as Theoden. He really looked like waht I pictured him as. However, their is one big problem. Theoden is not nearly as much of a DESPAIRING WIMP ans they portrayed him in the movie. He didn't just sit back troughout the battle he led his troops (howver in the movie they made it look as though Rohan had no troops), he also was the one who decided on the last charge against the orcs. He was the if i'm going to go down i'm going to go down fighting. PJ tu8rned to Rohiirim from great fighters and cool cavalry into a nation of huddled unwashed families and old men who is run by a leader who spends most of his time despairing on what will happen to his poor "helpless" people. Sheesh.
