Be happy that they only downplayed his character and didn't destroy it altogether. *coughfrodocough*...*and others*...
I see what you mean, though. I would say they did it with others, too. Gandalf, for one, is one character who got very little character development, even though he got a considerable amount of screen time.
But they didn't destroy his character, even if they down played it a little bit.
