I always liked Boromir and they did EXCELLENT in the movie as Tolkien did with him in the book...he was a bit difficult to understand in the book...for me...because I think, the only person who totally understood him in the book was Tolkien. But I did like him cause I think we all have a bit of Boromir and us. <P>We also have to remember that if the Fellowship would've went to Mordor with Frodo and Sam, it would've probably corrupted them. We just don't know. Boromir really just didn't get it, that he couldn't do ANY good with the Ring, no matter what...like it just didn't register with him. he had good intentions. And when he died....OHHH, that was SO sad...he was so brave and then when he was talking to Aragorn...Ohhhhh, that reminds me of something funny when I say it for the first time....<P>It was opening night and when Boromir died and Aragorn was 'paying his respects' the people were like "Aragorn's CATHOLIC!" and then they were like "OHHHHHH" I laughed so hard after that. I like to call it "The Gondor Thing" (Remember Aragorn at Rivendell with Anduril) Just my thoughts
