They did change his character quite a bit. I took Gimli very seriously in the novel.
Indeed, in the novel, he was a dwarf to be taken seriously. Now, in the films, he was badass as honey badger, but used way too often for comic relief. Which, in my estimation, is a bit silly - this sort of story doesn't need much comic relief, and the little that you do need is provided by hobbits being hobbits.
