Which Faramir is best? Book or Movie? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well I should imagine that virtually everyone will vote for Book Faramir, given the amount of flak that Film Faramir gets around here. But it's not really comparing like with like, for they are really two different characters in two different stories. Book Faramir is a wonderful character within the context of the Books. But I believe (for the reasons explained <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=002188" TARGET=_blank>on this Faramir thread</A>) that Film Faramir works well within the context of the Films.<P>So, that's a vote for each from me.
