As with TTT, I have mixed feelings about the character, but I liked him better this time around.<P>I found Wenham's acting really moving. His delivery when he said "think better of me" brought tears to my eyes. At the same time, I found the character just a bit too pathetic and spineless. When Faramir rode out, he seemed like a whiny adolescent. I wouldn't have been surprised if he were muttering to himself: "You'll all be SORRY when I'm DEAD!"<P>I'm still waiting to see the gentle and insightful leader of men that Faramir should be. I know David Wenham can deliver if he's allowed to. Only the extended edition will tell.<P>-Lily
