Agreed with all of it, heartily. I know other people find him underdeveloped and/or annoyingly high-handed, but in all honesty I've always liked Peter a lot, especially as he gets older. So I was very disappointed to see the way he was treated in this film -- it was like an even more extreme example of the mishandling Aragorn and particularly Faramir got in the Jackson LotR.
I mean, I find marble saints as annoying as the next person, but there's still a lot of leeway there before you get to "clueless twit" -- do the filmmakers really believe that heroic characters have to be dragged through the mud in order to be credible or interesting to a 21st-century audience? Sigh.
