As a mild criticism of the screenwriters: in the book, of course, Elrond explicitly says that no oath of any sort was laid on the Fellowship. And in the movie version, although one might reeeeeally stretch and claim that Aragorn's, Gimli's and Legolas' declarations to Frodo are 'oaths', all Boromir says is "If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done."
