I finally saw the movie tonight. I'm afraid the first movie raised my expectations way too high as I was deeply disappointed. I don't even want to go into why except that every chapter could have been altered, was, and much that wasn't in the book, was, and the end point sucked and...BTW, I now understand better the change in Faramir. The Ring is much more malvolent and active in Jackson's version. Even Aragorn was greatly tempted by it and had to send Frodo away in order to be certain he would resist it. If Faramir had resisted as he had in the book, he would have been *better* than Aragorn. By making this change, Faramir seems somewhere in between Aragorn and Boromir. (I'm still not sure I like it but I can understand it.)
Sigh.
