I prefered the book version, though it did not protray the scenes in such detail. The film version shows a totally over-dramatised scene that may appeal more to non Tolkien fans as do the other flashy scenes PJ had to incorporate to the movie to attract viewers.<P>Sean Bean however was a very goog Boromir and I must admit that after reading the book nine times and watching the movie a few times the character of Boromir is my least favorite of all the characters, in both Book and Film.
