I nearly dropped my breakfast when I read those words in 'The Look' supplemeny. Though, I think he is right in a way-the movies were to 'Hollywoody' and at times very corny, I never remember cringing whilst reading LoTR. And as for changes to the 'static' Faramir. Has Mrs. Boyens even read the books and understood the whole POINT of Faramir? Mrs. Boyens strikes me as being arrogant and up her own ***, I mean even if Tolkien's character was a little stataic, at least he wasn't a complete idiot like 'your' Faramir.
