NO. No it isn’t. That is the WORST part in the movie trilogy. It makes me want to put my head through a wall. Was that dialogue really so much better than Tolkien’s, Peter Jackson? WAS IT? </rant>
Well it has been a while (over a year) but to go back to the argument, most of Jackson’s changes were part of the necessity to simplify the construction of the story, but some of it was due to his reimagining parts of the characterization, often to simplify. In my mind the worst of this is what he did to Denethor, turning him from a tormented individual damaged by trying to fight Sauron directly, through Palantirs, and defeated as anyone would be in that struggle. He turned him into a demented and gross cowardly fool! Reprehensible!
