I'll chime in with everyone else - more Faramir, better this time. OK, so the Osgiliath scenes are in there and maybe they can't be totally scrapped, but add in a few more scenes in the caves, maybe you can still make him decide to take the Ring to Osgiliath (heretical as it is) but make it more of a struggle. Maybe show more of a metamorphosis from a fundamentally nice guy who's desperate to please his tyrannical father to a fundamentally nice guy who decides that maybe pleasing his father isn't worth destroying the world as we know it. Maybe mention that "Your life will be forfeit" clause earlier so we can see what Faramir is contending with. Anything, please, anything to redeem him. I've loved the guy too long to give up hope now .
