Boromir's death - book or movie?

[Knight of Gondor]

I think the movie probably portrayed it better, but only because the book failed to show the heroism that Boromir showed ere he died. A friend (probably a Tolkine purist, so to speak) mentioned that it irked him that Boromir died from only three arrows, when in the book it was made clear that many arrows had pierced him.<P>Still, many scenes touched me from the movie that didn't in the book, like Aragorn jumping out to fight off the Ringwraiths at Amon Sul. I suppose it's the visualization (and Howard Shore's breathtaking music!) that lend emotion and power to the moment's dramatic affect.
