Yes, I really liked the commentary tracks too. They help me notice things I hadn't noticed on a conscious level, like the way Jackson constructs shots.
The changes to Faramir didn't bother me so much.
The movies fail to capture the mythic tones of the books. They try, in parts, but it's undermined by the effort to "humanize" the characters.
You see, for me the two statements are part of the same objective.
