Boromir [merged]

if they would have made it like in the books, they sure would have brught tears in the eyes of the odience, but the scene in the movie was also good but not as good as it could have been

I also really missed the songs who are really an important part of the book.
At least there shouldve been something more sad in the background.

yeah! give the guy respect he saved the hobbits, I thought pj would put more of it in the ee fotr, but when he fell over the falls it was prety much the same. the book was beter

I agree; they didn't sing in the cinema edition 'cause of time limits... but I agree with Smodden, they could've put them singing in the Extended Edit. Who knows, maybe they can't sing... At least when he died, they played heroic music...

Boromir is my favorite character. He fought bravely and died with honor, weak on not he was possibly the second greatest warrior of Gondor (next to Aragorn). Faramir is a jackass, he sucks so much. Oh yeah about Boromir Sean Bean he played Boromir perfectly, every little line, every laugh every swing of his sword was perfect, the man should have gotten more credit. Also I think that he should have lived in FOTR, but died at Helm's Deep, just for the sake of the story, if he died at Helms Deep he the story would'nt be different, and it would have made the battle more epic, I mean honestly who really cares if that Haldir Elf dude (Is that his name) died, no one cares, I did'nt. He did'nt have a big enough part to make use of his death scene. Boromir would have gone with Aragorn to the end, he saw as he was lying on the leaves crying that he knew that he did wrong. Only if he had taken his shield he would have lived...

very well said Smithy, anyway one thing I don't understand is why Boromir did'int have his armur on (The one we see in the prewiew of TTT Extended) then those arrows wouldint have killed him

smithy, a strong body and a great fighting skill doesn't mean he's a strong person inside.
i don't how you guys think but i feels that faramir is much handsomer than boromir. how can you say that faramir is a jackass? he's one of the most sensitive charator in the story, and he's also a great fighter, second only to his brother in gondor, and an interlectual too.

ps: do agree with you on the the scenes of boromir's death, it wasn't as grand as the book.

corlindel - weren't you the one that thought it was funny that i talked to myself?

Yes your little nazgul speaker 😛

If bow, arrows and archer are perfect arrows even can get through a thick wooden shield -
But Boromir WORE his metal armor, you can see a bit of it when he jumps around so funnily.

faramir is cool, it is so shady on him because his father thought that boromir was the best and treated him like a true warrior but faramir was shunned away.

I totally agree.
Yet Boromir was always friendly to Faramir, they really liked each other (nice scenes on the TT Extended)

yeah to bad deneathor wasn't friendly to faramir, faramir was the beter person, but deneathor said:

Spoiler:
that he wished faramir had died and not boromir.

Boromir was a better person in my point of view

no...boromir was too emotionally weak. he was a good fighter, but faramir was still good, just not quite as good as his brother. alos, it says that the blod of numenor runs in faramir's veins, but someho whtese traits did not pass on to boromir, so overall i think faramir is better....

back on topic...i think it was really sad when boromir died, but i thinkit needed to happen...he was corrupt and only would have brought evil to the rest of the journey.

Agrees with Agent Smithy on the Boromir part! 👆

I liked Boromir. I think Sean Bean played Boromir well!
It was sad to see him die and I am glad he died the way he did. I cannot remember the dialogue between him and Aragorn, but I thought it was a good way to end his character in the movie. 😛

I think he was very human and with the burden he carried, you can almost understand what he was feeling (remembering the early scene in FOTR when he was telling the council why Gondor should have it).

still don't like boromir

Boromir was cool but Farimir in the books was definately better. from the time he meets Frodo, Sam, and Golum and tells frodo "If I found the Ring on the side of the road I would leave it were it lay". All the way to the Pyre of Denathor Farimir remains good hearted, strong willed, and never has one evil feeling towards taking the Ring. not to mention he is Boromirs Mental superior.

Yes he was definitely better in the book.

But I understood Boromir better in the film, I think. Bean really did a great job.

I think it was not bad that Boromir died - and Tolkien chose exactly the right moment, I think.

I agree. The way Boromir was in the movie made me understand his character more. Althought I didn't think so when I first saw FOTR, I appreciate the way Sean Bean portrayed his character alot more.

And I cannot wait for the extended TTT... more on the relationship of this family 👆
