The Insanity of Denethor

[Saraphim]

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for posting on this thread. Secondly I'd like to agree with this:

Still, I would have rather watched Beregond and Pippin than Arwen looking pathetic.

The parts with Gondor and its various inhabitants were some of my favorite parts in the book, and I was put out when so much was cut out. I understand time constraints, but most of those Arwen's Dying Because Of The Ring scenes could have stood to be cut down a bit.

I did enjoy John Noble's portrayl as Denny, but he got a bit severe and mean when it came to Faramir (before he was wounded), and I did not enjoy his relationship with Gandalf. The staff-beatings were funny, but they just did not fit Gandalf.
