But to pick up about Denethor, I think they did him a disservice in the movies, though the extended edition may fix some things. In the book, he was the wreck of a great man, worn down by his failure against Sauron and his corruption through the Palantir. In the movie...he was just a thoroughly unpleasant fella, without any really obvious reasons why.
