My god, what a travesty for such a noble character (even David Wenham was upset when he read what they did to his character). Denethor? A crass nutjob with no redeeming values (not even table etiquette). Elrond? Sorry, I've never read anywhere that elves whine. I cringe everytime I hear him say 't-h-i-i-i-n'.

So, I would definitely put Boromir's characterization as a positive.

Ahh, preach it.
