Dumbing it down - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I didn't read the whole thread, but I do want to mention some things that really bothered me in the film. They made Frodo more of a coward, I can get quotes if necessary, and in doing this, probably for that reason, they lowered everyone else. They ruined Faramir. Theoden was to much of a coward to face Suraman, "They flee to the mountains when they should stand and fight," when in the book he rode out to meet them. Denethor was to much of a coward to burn himself without running. Sam was very violent toward Gollum.... As I once told my sister, I have more than a bone to pick with Peter Jackson, I have a whole skeleton. I wont go on. Must go. Farewell
