Boromir is my favorite character, and I think the movie did him justice very well. Sean Bean WAS Boromir, and I Love the scene in Lorien, when he's talking about his father's rule and Minas Tirith. Perfect Boromir personality.
Now that that's out of the way... I see Boromir as a noble, charismatic, and benevolent person. A bit impatient and rash sometimes, but we all are! He's, as everyone said, a perfect human. And Aragorn in the books was too perfect (Thats why I love the movies Aragorn so much). What I'm trying to say? He was tempted and succumbed to the ring. Yet he redeemed himself. He died defending Merry and Pippin. And even though he thought it ridiculous for a hobbit to bear the ring (honestly, would YOU want someone like Lotho, his wife or his son bearing the ring?), he still cared deeply for them, as it is obvious. He's the perfect human, one we can all relate to. And I would be honored to have him as a ruler.
