I love John Rhys-Davies' Gimli. He's like, one of my favorite characters from the movies.
Eowyn's defeat of the Witch-King was always one of my favorite parts from the books. It may, in fact, be my absolute favorite part of the whole trilogy. And while the scene in the movie is awesome, I find it a poor second to the book's. Not sure why, exactly. Maybe Jackson went a bit too far the other way with the dialogue - made it too abrupt. Or maybe it's something to do with the stabbing-in-the-headspace gesture and then the energy burst that follows.
I felt they went a little overboard with Denethor, but I was thoroughly versed with him from the books. No idea what I'd've thought of him if I'd been less of a book fan.
