I think the movie was every bit as deep as the books. Remember how terrifying it was for Frodo to be seen by Sauron’s eye? No, they know exactly what they’re doing and they don’t care.
Except the movies leave out entire characters...
In the books Frodo was a wealthy middle-aged hobbit. Not some boy hobbit.
Book Aragorn was eagerly awaiting his time to be king. Movie Aragorn didn't want anything to do with it.
Book, Denethor is being controlled by Sauron via the Palantir, in the movies he's a brutish, cruel, tyrant.
