(Though I, still, much prefer Boromir over Aragorn).

This is one reason I hardly really like film adaptations from books. Most of the times, things have been left out (too slow) or put in (to pick up the pace). The first make me feel I miss things (slow paces can be beneficial in books, to let the events sink in) or make me feel the story had to mangled to add in that love scene/fight scene just to keep people interested.
That's why mini-series are generally more succesful, as they have the time to leave that slow scene in and don't have to rush through the story.

Still I believe that "as a film in its own rights" it is a nice one - I had fun watching the movies. It's not LOTR, but it is nice. And the CGI is astonishing. |
LOTR was an awesome movie, if you never read the books.
