Sean Bean was THE man for that role and everyone knew it. And everyone who had seen him playing Sharpe- which is how he got the tole- knew it before we saw him as well. When my brother told me it was Sean Bean for Boromir, I thought for a moment, thought of Sharpe, and thought...
"That is bloody PERFECT..."
And yup, he played him JUST like Sharpe.., replacing French with Orcs.
Anyway, if he hadn;t have died... well, that depends whether you mean Merry and Pippin still got captured or not.
Wha? Though I am heterosexual and male, I would have to say he's handsome. They make him look grungy in LotR, because that's the way things were. Sean Bean was, totally, the BEST person for the job. I loved him especially in Goldeneye (James Bond movie) where he played agent 006 and stuff. That was awesome! 🙂 Anyway, I agree that Boromir would not have tried to take the Ring again. The mere thought of what he'd tried to do to Frodo would have been more than enough to knock some sense into him the next time he starts acting funny. I also wish he could have been in other battles... Though he's no Aragorn, Boromir's still an excellent fighter, and I would have loved to see him in the Battle of the Pellenor.

LOL, I'd make you grovel... 😉
But seriously, I think Sean wanted that part... I mean he's almost always a bad guy in every movie he's in... And he always dies (which really sucks). Take Don't Say A Word for example and Patriot Games.
I think he's extremely handsome too.
He rocks!!!
Boromir: "It is a gift; a gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this Ring?"
you think if he didn't die his father would have been different?
i still think he would have taken the ring, there was lust in his eyes ( so to speak) from the day he saw the ring. it's different when u're about to die and another when u're still living. imagine all the reputation he would get if he could use the ring to destroy sauron, and if he found out that aragorn is to be the king, you think that would go down easily with him? no way would he relish the power to rule gondor. not that he's bad or anything, but he's just human and i just don't see the inner quality and maturity, that aragorn have, in him. and many great man have been seduced by the ring to do bad things.
I don't like Boromirs character but Sean Bean portraied him really good - imho one of the best actors in the film.
But I'm somehow glad that he died - dont want to know what he wouldve done if the fellowship wouldntve travelled with him to Minas Tirith. I dont miss him in the Two Towers.
But he made FoTR far more interesting.
I felt cheated, in the books the remaining Felowship spend a day gathering all of the orcs weapons that Borimir killed and placed them into his raft along with Boromir, then they went downstream with his body singing and praising him before sending him over the falls. In the movie its a 2 second clip of him falling over the falls,,,,Weak
