I couldn't stand Faramir, I agree that Pippin and Merry have been turned into jokes, so has Gimli...and Legolas, well in the book he didn't say much, but when he did it was more than that sappy rubbish like 'a red sun rises, blood has been spilt this night', he talked about what time is like for the the Elves and stuff. Yeah, Gollum in the book was SCARY!!!!!!!!! But everyone thinks he's cute because of the films grrrr. Eowyn was good I thought, I was never able to understand her or relate to her in the book for some reason. Theoden was a bit annoying in some parts. The way the Ents had to be tricked......AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eomer (why did they give him accents over both the 'e's???) was ok, but they got lots of his story wrong. stuff like he was 'banished when he wasnt' and they were riding south, not north...can't remember now...
Arwen was sap and a waste of space...shame that, I really liked her in the book.

Maybe the stuff in the appendices should have been included.
