Still forming your own images of Middle-earth, or stuck with Elijah and co.? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bethberry, I have to agree with you regarding Boromir. I myself am not good at "picturing" characters, and the image I had of Boromir has always been vague "Conan the Barbarian"-ish" He was also one of my least favorite characters.

Sean Bean, I think, did a wonderful job of instilling some humanity into the too-prideful Gondorian, and I have much more sympathy for Tolkien's flawed warrior now. And I agree that PJ's fiddling with the time line worked for me.

(Cough) Say, shouldn't this thread be in the "Movie" forum?
