It did happen in the book though. Boromir did fight and die in the book, we only saw the aftermath though.<P>In the book, the whole mood is different. Aragorn is in despair, etc. The film-makers just wanted a happy Hollywood-style ending. In effect, they changed what happened, and are in no position to claim that it was better, because the two situations were different.
