Was Boromir good or bad

And Frodo would've as well if it hadnt been for Gollum, and they threw themselves over, Gollum died with the ring, and Frodo hung his little hobbit soul in there. 🙂
And no, I dont believe Frodo to be able to do so, alone. And about Gollum, the answer could be yes and no. I mean we saw him in FOTR, he had been following them and he would've wriggled his way into the movies anyway (as did he in TTT) Because he longed for his precious.

Another interesting question we can propose is what would have Boromir done if he would have captured Frodo and obtained the Ring from him...

I can only make theories of my own as to what he would've done, which is keep the ring and use it for the rule of Gondor.

This is very true...and he would have fallen to Sauron, which would have come back to power and destroyed all of middle earth

And I shudder at the thought of what it would be like.

Well if you like orcs...it wouldn't be oh so bad

True. But I despise them in my own way. Lol.

But of course

"Filthy Orcses!"
But anywhom, hadnt Boromir have died, what do you think would've happened? Poor Boromir. Id made me sad when Aragorn knelt down and talked to him as he died.
"My brother, my Captain, my King."

Boromir has maximum ownage. In fact my favourite scene in the two towers is the one of Osgilliath, whereth his father doth threw his puny brother down

His father was bad if anyone could be bad. He sent Boromir away to have the ring for himself only. Poor Boromir wanted to stay with his people but his father's will would not be resistible. So he was not bad after all

He was good, it was his father who killed him. How evil his father was....

Boromir is good like Bilbo is good but the will of the One Ring corrupted Boromir until death took him

Boromir was a good guy, he was just brought up crappy by denethor and the ring was poisoning his mind, bit like gollum really... Boromir was wicked tho, great fighter and very strong, takin 3 of lurtz's arrows and still fightin for da hobbits! his bro is crap tho, if i was faramir i would of slapped denethor silly

wrong .... he was killed by an uruk ... unless boromir's father suddenly turned into an Uruk-Hai ... ur wrong ... Denethor never killed anybody except himself.

BOROMIR=GOOD!!!

he just wasn't that good at being good... on one occasion.

how can you even ask?

Bormoir was good, he just didn't have the as strong the mental discipline as Araagorn or others. Aragorn lived in wilderness most of his life, so his mind was rugged and he was not bent on power. Frodo lived in the happy go lucky shire, and he never thought about power and war, he was completely oblivious actually. Boromir was raised up in a world were power and control was a virtue and a nescesity for survival. As a captain of the defense of Gondor his mind was always bent on defending Gondor and finding ways to make his country more powerful. Gondor would have fallen much earlier if Gondor was as releaxed as the Shire. So Bormir was mostly doing his job. Given Time Aragorn would have succumbed to the ring as Frodo, Gollum, Isuildor, and Bormoir did. Gandalph didn't want to even tough the ring, becuasse he was already so powerful and deep in the arts of magic he feared that he would get attached to the ring. So you cannot really blame Bormir for trying to take the ring. He was thinking logicly. The plan was for 9 warriors (which had been reduced to eight) to SNEAK INTO MORDOR, the largest, most powerful realm in ME, and try to destroy a weapon so vastly powerful that it could turn the balance of viuctory to either side. Bormir thought that this was fooly, and even though he knew Frodo was T3H CH0S3N 1!!!111, Bormir thought that it would be safer to keep this WMD safely behind thousands of troops and barricades. Logical thinking. Even when he tried to take the ring Gondor's defense was still his main priority.

There wasnt any cold blooded evil in his blood he was just arrogant and wasnt as emotionally strong as Aragorn he fell to the lure of the ring that was a building story he was introduced as a good narrow minded man who was considered invincible by his people but he fell to the power of the ring and only realized what he had done when he was lying against a tree with three or four arrows sticking out of him then it all came back to haunt him before he made his peace with Aragorn Sean Bean was brilliant as Boromir his best role to date definately
