**RotK - Denethor (John Noble)** - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I thought John Noble's portrayal and the writing was a bit over the top, but I always hated this character anyway so I didn't mind. The hatred for him in the audience was palpable. A guy sitting next to me called him a "d--k" under his breath when he was so mean to Faramir. And that's basically all he is in the movie. He does make you want to hug Faramir... okay, I wanted to anyway. *sniffle* Faramir looked so, so sad. I don't care about whatever jerkiness Faramir pulled in TTT, you don't make him look that sad and get any sympathy from me. Hmph.<P>It goes really well with that one scene they shouldn't have cut from TTT....
