What I notice about the movie is that it has a rather negative attitude towards Men. I mean, look at the way Denethor is made to look far worse than he really is,or how Aragorn attaks the Mouth of Sauron for no reason and how Faramir tries to take the Ring. All these changes affected me deeply,especially when it could have been so great to just stick to the book. I would have liked to see Faramir shown as the noble man that he really is and I would have prefered the things that he says to Frodo-especially when he confesses that he does not love war in itself, but what it deffends- to all the fight scenes at Osgiliath, no matter how exiting they might be to the person sitting next to me at the cinema
