Yes. <P>That Faramir scene should be in there. It's much more powerful. <P>Replace the Osgiliath distraction. Really, Osgiliath did not work, the people who hadn't read the books were wondering 'where are we?' and they were the ones this change was for.<P>And we don't have to cut Arwen. She does need the screen time to remind the audience she exists, and why Aragorn would choose her over Eowyn.<P>But having Sam mess up and tell Faramir about the ring is fresh, new. I mean, we've already seen Isildur and Boromir tempted. We've seen Frodo mess up. To have Sam blow it, and Faramir <I>not</I> be tempted is much more interesting a story.
