Why LOTR Sucks: The Fall Of Boromir

Boromir dies valiantly, in another well-choreographed scene from Peter Jackson. And in so dying, we only get five more slow motion close-ups of people and hobbits crying.

I have to admit, I was fully expecting a bunch of shots of people stopping in the middle of battle to see something important across the way. I guess that doesn’t start happening until movie two.
