While Linnahiril Tinnufinwen makes a good point about movie Aragorn's lack of
"gravitas", I think that's largely a fault of PJ and friends rewriting the character, especially trying to make him a sort of Hamletish reluctant actor, as opposed to book Aragorn. Viggo could probably have adequately portrayed book Aragorn. But I still hold movie Denethor as worst portrayal, both from changes in the book and a failure to show subtleties in his character and its deterioration. Remember, Denethor had substantial reasons for not being a fan of Aragorn, starting from Denethor's youth and Aragorn's (unwitting) competition for Denethor's father's affections.
