Replying here because the other Faramir thread seems to be dead. I've seemingly bounced back and forth on Faramir. At first it bothered me, but on a second viewing it bothered me less. I guess I was just surprised at how strong some people's reactions were.<P>If it were up to me, I would have toned down Faramir's agression. I pretend to myself he is just having a really bad day. It's that one image of him pulling out the ring around Frodo's neck with his sword that is so un-Faramir. That one sticks with me. Maybe the special edition will delete that shot. I guess not. <P>H.C.
