Meh, I "like" Denethor more in the movies than in the books. He's creates a more interesting dynamic in the world exactly because he's crueler. And he is necessary to create sympathy for Faramir - yes, yes, the movies changed him too, but honestly I think "extremes" are better in movies than they are in books.

Yeah I do too, but I think the movies overdid it a bit with Denethor. The more obvious cruelty towards Faramir I didn't mind, but I did mind the one-dimensionality of his dislike of the idea of Aragorn becoming king, and his despair, which seemed more cowardly in the movies rather than a deep-seated sincere despair of Sauron ever being defeated as in the books, and I don't think that would have been hard to do in the movie.

He never came across overdone to me. I rather thought it was supposed to be a reminder that the "bad guys" are sometimes humans, not everything "bad" is a supernatural force or mutated, ugly creature. Making this guy a dick beyond what would be reasonably expected from being Sauron's influence, whether directly or not, felt more real. Probably wasn't how Tolkien intended it, but to me, Denethor was a terrifying figure because he was more "real" than Sauron.

Denethor is NOT a "bad guy," though. And thinking that he is one is missing the point of his character.
