<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Gandalf speaks Black Speech* "Oh...heheh...jsut a joke of mine, Elrond!"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Oh come on, thats dramatising it a bit. The dialogue they used was pretty much the same as they used in the book. And the line "Give it to me!" seemed like a quite powerful line from Sean Bean to me. And again it was taken exactly from the book :P <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Oh, I wasn't being sarcastic there. I was just pointing out how they have to basically slam the audience's face into the fact that Boromir's going to take the Ring isntead of letting it happen as some form of sursprise. For all PJ's talk of making Faramir "better" (ie: worse, imo) he should have paid more attentionm to that greta element of "surprise!" I actually really like what he did with old Boromir. Made me really like the poor guy. I just wish someone had siad at the Council of Elrond "Um...hang on...that guy's not safe to go with them!" after all PJ's zaniness.
