*cough* Actually, I liked the way the film depicted Boromir's fall and forgiveness much better than the book's. It is one of the few places where I though the movie enhanced the story. Perhaps this is because Boromir's death has been moved to the end of FOTR rather than being lost in the opening of TTT. It has become dramatically more focussed and provided vivid evidence of how powerful the ring is. *cough*

Movie Legolas (with all the drooling) may have permanently, I fear, destroyed any interest I had in the book character. Book Galadriel remains far and away safe from any taint by Movie Galadriel.

Much as I think the movie was well done as a fan fic, as Mark12_30 put it, there is still so much more in the books to explore....
