PJ & co wrote themselves into a corner by making the Ring so alluring and by letting Faramir see it. At that point they had no choice but to make him go for it. This really weakened Faramir's character as others have said, because Boromir could withstand the call for months, but Faramir fell after only seconds.

I would agree. By making the ring so powerful they could not just let Faramir get off without (apparently) being tempted by it. If he let it go it would basically be downplaying everything else the movie said about the ring. In relation with the psychological depth, I would say that Legolas and Gimli are not really developed enough for us to say whether they wer tempted by it or not. I don't think Tokien ever mentioned it. I suppose that leads us to believe that they were not tempted to any great extent.
