I really liked the portrayal of Boromir in both movies (that extra scene in TTT was a treat), and I agree with Finwe; they showed how his virtues led him (for a while) down the wrong path. I didn't think the movies made him look evil, in fact, they did a lot to flesh out my picture of him from the book. (I'd always intellectually understood that he wasn't Eeeeevil, but he'd still left me a bit cold. Not so now). <P>The only scene I would take out would be the FOTR EE one where Boromir makes a grab for the Ring and Gandalf recites the "One Ring to rule them all" poem in the Black Speech. It makes Boromir look, shall we say, unstable, and it makes you wonder why they'd allow the guy to go on the quest when he hadn't been able to keep his hands to himself in the first five minutes of seeing the Ring. Having the slow buildup of temptation without that odd initial scene would be much better.
