John Noble was a great actor and Denethor, well, I'm just going to say he was not my favorite character in the movie. I didn't expect him to be but I also didn't expect to start to loathe him! I couldn't stand the guy (no offense Denethor fans!). I think his jumping off the city/building was a bit dramatic. I thought as soon as he was "pushed" back onto the pyre that he'd stay and burn but nooooo, they just had to make him jump. The whole time he was running I'm thinking "Stop, drop and roll! Stop, drop and roll!"<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I am sorry, Denethor fans, but I quite enjoyed seeing Gandalf belt Denethor good with his staff! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>You're not alone! I had already began to dislike him and as soon as he called for wood and such (Yes I've read the books, I understand, I know) I wanted to hit him myself! Then! What to my surprise but he gets hit in the stomach and face and there's Gandalf! The whole audience cheered and whooped - myself included.
