Also, Faramir would not make that suicide charge to Osgiliath in the book
Are we talking 'mistakes' that PJ made here-or just things different from the book? Seriously, I could probably post an entire page on things that probably wouldn't happen in the book-but since the movies aren't the books, why nitpick about little things like that?
Obviously, if Jackson gave Frodo red hair or something like that, then we can point to the book on that, but that's a major change to a major character. In fact, even Faramir's hair color change isn't very big; he's not the biggest character in the books, & probably about 75% of book-reading fans don't even catch it until it's pointed out to them.

One orc couldn't properly use a bow when the Rohirim charge. (Look closely, you will see one arrow is pointing at the wrong angle)
Orcs are not primarily bowmen.
