Amazon putting a three-day pause on reviews for Rings of Power

In the books, the dichotomy between them is pretty significant. Boromir gave in to temptation to use it to defeat his enemies and was killed because of it. Faramir did not, suffered a bit for not having that weapon, but survived and was rewarded in the end. They were extremely clearly intended as a moral lesson.

The movies completely reversed Faramir.

Also the book has a extra chapter at the end where the shire turns into a police state, Fordo leads a horse back revolution to kick out the corrupt hobbits who inslaved their own people with the new tools from the people with the machines.

I was surprised as an adult when I first watched the movie that it didn't have this ending to the character arch, missing the final stage of the hero's journey.

I'm surprised they haven't turned it into a movie over the past twenty years. I suppose they'd have wanted Elijah Wood back and I get the feeling he wouldn't be keen to reprise the role.
