Book vs. Movie characters

[arianrod]

I completely agree with everyone that's complimented Sean Bean in his performance of Boromir. I think he was brilliant in the part and deffinatly enhanced the movie with his majesty and grace in such a difficult role.

One of my absolute favorite scenes in the book is Frodo at the Ford, and Arwen's inclusion in this scene drains the power out of Frodo, making him more of a reactive victim type than the quietly strong character I know and love from the books. He has his moments, but he seems to need more rescuing in the movies than he does in the books.

Well, Lyta_Underhill, you beat me to it and stole the thoughts right out of my head. I was fairly surprised to see no one mentioned that before. You seemed to cover it all, except that he seems to have a complete lack of balance in the movie... didn't know it was possible for hobbits to fall quite that much.
