For example, the way Faramir is portrayed grated on me. In the book he was probably the most noble character of them all.In the movie hecomes off like a jerk.

Yep. The changes to Faramir's character and story were indeed among the things I had in mind when I posted earlier. At the point in Jackson's TTT when Faramir announces that he's sending the ring to Gondor, I can't help but imagine Tolkien dismissing the film as rubbish and walking out.

My wife and I both agreed The Two Towers was the worst of the trilogy as far as unfaithfulness to the books. Faramir’s character, the stupid Aragon goes into the river scene, Frodo offering the ring to the Nazgul...blah.
