Just chiming in with
MatthewM– what
is all this about PJ "glamourising" Boromir's appearance?

Really, I don't think Sean Bean's
all that good-looking.
Also, I found the book version to be an interesting and quite sympathetic character... I guess it all comes down to people reacting differently.
That said, I'd certainly list Movie-Boromir as one of the positives. I don't find the fact that he looks different to be an issue at all.
