*stretches!*
Okay! This is an interesting topic, and I may (in fact, I probably will) repeat some things mentioned here.
On a kneejerk reaction, I think I would say that Faramir was butchered most. I'm sure they have their reasons for changing the character but... beh... the relationship between him, his brother and his father muchly reminds me of my own family... so seeing him doing out of bookly character things kinda hurt.
On a deeper consideration, I think most of the other characters have little nuances that cause me to cringe, just a litte. Legolas, for example, seemed way too young in the movies. Granted, I suppose that's hard to portray visually, but he just seemed... older... and maybe a little more lighthearted. Also, Frodo's role in RoTK, namely with the casting away of Sam (which, by the way, made me CRY >.>) was extremely out of character.
*ponder* I feel like I'm repeating myself. Or not adding anything new. Oh well. Putting LoTR on screen is a daunting task; not everything is going to be perfect.
(I really wish they had put in the Scourging of The Shire. Even if it would've put on an extra hour to the movie >.>)

No, I was referring to her vacant, wide-eyed stare as she addresses everyone while gazing distantly at a point somewhere above and behind them, as well as her slow, somewhat weirdly lilting voice and the odd cadence, rhythm and intonation of her speech that makes her seem like she's speaking a foreign language in which she only has technical proficiency. She reminded me a bit of Drusilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only Drusilla's dark-haired and wears red and black... I kept expecting her to come out with some sort of bizarre non sequitur, like "That's not at all a fitting gift for our newborn grandmum" or "Everything in my head is singing!"
Also, yeah, she overpowered Celeborn. I don't even remember the guy. He was totally overwhelmed by Galadriel. When they first appear, she's all glowy and sparkly, and he's just... blond and robed.
