I disagree. I think that if Tolkien gave one of the most detailed descriptions of a character we get in FotR, PJ should have adhered to them. There's no reason why he shouldn't have. The whole distinguishing thing is rubbish, in my opinion, and I've heard that was his reasoning. When I see PJ's Boromir, I don't see Book Boromir. They are totally different in my opinion, appearance wise and personality wise, but I don't want to get into that. My point is, with a character like Pippin, for example, I can honestly say I am pleased with PJ's Pip and I think PJ did a great job with translating Pippin from book to movie. He's a believable translation. PJ's Boromir on the other hand...eh.
I really don't want to get into a whirlwind of arguments over this again...so to save all of that, let's just agree to disagree!
