I take it you mean the complete repulsive looniness of Denethor - far beyond what I remember in the book anyway - and his horrible relationship with Faramir?
I actually didn't mind that, just as I didn't mind a lot of the "beefing up" of the character's personalities and relationships. Tolkein's greatest weakness for me has always been his terribly 2-dimensional and cipher-like characters. There are other changes I mind more, so I'd be interested to hear what really disturbed you about D/F.
