I haven't seen this one yet, but I noticed Jackson did that with a couple of other characters in LotR--Denethor in particular. In the books he wasn't the nicest guy and he certainly sucked as a parent to Faramir, but he still came across to me as more noble and less creepy, petty and bitter than the film version.

I don't know, I can only speak for myself, but I've always loathed Denethor, even before the movies came out. Telling your son that you wish he had died instead of his brother is goddamn unforgivable (and I find the book version WORSE, since he specifically tells Faramir that he's disloyal and has basically disgraced him). The movie adaptation is more... exaggerated, I guess? But the book version, to me, came across as a horrifying arsehole with a very thin veneer of nobility, and the movie just showed that more openly.

Nope. Denethor was okay, but they kind of wrote Faramir badly. He is NEVER tempted by the ring.

Because he's was Tolkien's Marty Stu. I'm kinda okay with them changing that. I think even in one of Tolkien's letters he admits Faramir should have been tempted.

That never made any sense to me, so I was fine with them changing it.
