This is my take on Boromir. I respected Boromir's character. I think the Fellowship definitley respected him as a man of honor and a valiant warrior. In a way, I think that he represented what Aragorn was afraid of becoming. To not be strong enough and be subdued to the power of the ring. Aragorn fears there is no strength in his blood since Isildur's clutching the ring to his own will many years ago at Mt. Doom. When Boromir tries to take the ring and Frodo runs away, he falls and then he comes to his senses. At least before he dies he does realize that he wasn't himself and tries to apologize to Frodo. too late however. He also died a brave warrior defending the hobbits, Merry and Pippen.
