I don't like Faramir. He's coarse and rough and irritating and he gets everywhere (lemmy.mywire.xyz)

The movies did Faramir dirty.

In the books, he immediately rejects the temptation of the ring after Frodo tells him of Boromir's temptation, saying that a thing of the dark lord should not be used - thus proving how much stronger and wiser he was than his brother.

Faramir is one of my favorite characters in the books - a black sheep that represents hope for humanity after a book and a half of being shown humanity's failures. And he's such a badass in RotK

Peter Jackson weakened his character because of pacing and because he didn't understand that stories need occasional bright spots of hope and it's of the greatest sins of the movies IMO. Which is even more rediculous when you realize that Tolkien based the character on himself.

Hi i have just finished watching all 6 movies and I couldn’t understand the sentimental of character’s death. Like Thorin’s death in Hobbit and Boromir’s death in lotr. Am I the only one?

Frankly I'm offended you included The Hobbit movies in with Lord of the Rings.

Sorry this was my first time discussing about this series. I assumed they are all in the same brand. I thought the Hobbit movies were better than lotr movies a little bit. Probably I’m gonna get downvoted into oblivion
