Movie inspired sterio-types

I believe that Frodo only saw the ring a few times in the book, but in the movie it's just popping up everywhere.
Elrond: well, the movies just makes you want to hate him (especially the extended version of FotR.) He seems so impatience and angry, which is unlike an elf.
Treebeard: selfish. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Butterbur: cruel and mean-hearted; doesn't like hobbits.
....and so on, and so forth.
But, yes, the Faramir one did anger me too.
