*Puts on horns* Not to play the devil's advocate, but perhaps Denethor was portrayed as being so irrecoverably messed up to heighten the "Doom is nigh" feel of the Pelennor fields sequence? To that end, movie Denethor is marvelous.<P>But I agree, book Denethor was hardly ever found in the movie, and the character is unforgivably one-sided compared to our expectations of an incredibly complex character. A disaster indeed!<P>Still, movie-thor does serve his purpose (and as a little horse myself, I quite appreciated Shadowfax's well-placed hoof!)
