Denethor was a much more noble man then PJ made him out to be. He trully snapped for 10 minutes thats when he talked about burning and ending the line of stewards. Before that he might of well been crazy but didn't show much, "craziness."

Denethor was not afraid of Sauron he was willing to take him on until Denethor "snapped" of course. He was in charge of the defenses of Minas Tirith and was doing the best of his ability as far as the palantir he had every right to look into it. As stupid as it was he had the right to do it.

And in looking in the palantir he had Sauron's secrets and was able to set up a defense. I was astonished seeing how easily the Gondorian men were whacked and killed and how easily the armies got through the walls of Minas Tirith.
