Before I say my opinion on Faramir, I'll let you all know he has been my second favorite character for nearly seven years now.<P>What did I think of him in the movie? Well, if you want me to be honest, I did not find anything wrong with him. Oh, sure, he WAS changed, but not as drastically as I though he would be after hearing what people said about him.<P>So he took the hobbits to Osgiliath. Did you hear what he said there? He was being loyal to his father. No one gets angry because Sam is loyal to Frodo.<P>But I see that everyone is angry because he was different from the books. Was he THAT much different. In many, MANY ways, he was VERY similar to the Faramir I have grown up liking. I think it all depends on how you look at it. If you look at it from a die-hard fan's point of view, you're bound to hate him. But if you look at him through his own eyes, for one, you can completely understand why he's doing what he is. And guess what? He let them go at the end. He said his life was forfeit for them.<P>Now as for David Wenham... he was pretty good. I was prepared for everyone to get a crush on him, therefore making me dislike the character he plays because he'll have millions of Faramir love stories as we find Legolas ones, but fortunately I haven't heard anyone talking about how cute he is. Good! I'm free to like Faramir just as much as always!<P>I entirely disagree with most of you about Faramir. Changed? Yes. Utterly ruined? In my opinion, definitely not.<P>~Nurumaiel
