[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

While I agree that everyone has their own opinion (and should) it doesn't make one better than the other. I am not arguing that the book's ending is better than the film's. (If I did post exactly that earlier then I will look really stupid right now! But if I did then I didn't mean to.)<P>The point is that Tolkien wrote the book. He decided what happens. His was the story. The film-makers have changed the story slightly and should not say that their Boromir death scene was better than Tolkien's. It is arrogant, highly dubious, and disrespectful as well.<P>No offence to you and others like you H.C. If you prefer the films ending then I totally have no problem with that.
