Faramir acting like Boromir?

[Lotrelf]

Faramir NEVER acts like Boromir in the movie(s). Boromir, sadly, is tempted to keep the Ring, Faramir is not. Faramir's actions can be said partially 'selfish' 'cause he tried to seize the Ring for something that could cost him the rest of the World. But it wasn't temptation like Boromir's.

Faramir and Boromir were both great Men. I liked the Boromir of the movie, but not so much the Faramir. I get the feeling of Faramir, Denethor, and all the Dúnedain including Aragorn and his people, to have an air magic about them, like wizards as the Hobbits thought when they looked on these Men. I don't remember if the movie had this, but in the book when Faramir expounds the lore of Gondor to the Hobbits, that was cool. I don't remember if they spoke Elvish either in the movie as they did in the book. I just think the way Faramir went about his investigation of the Hobbits is off from what I see in the books. Although I do like that about movies, they have their own spin on the books, so we can keep having adaptations made, which to me is fun to look forward to.
