My appreciation of Boromir was slow in coming. I read the book before I saw the movie, and I always thought his attack on Frodo came out of left field. He didn't do anything interesting before then and I must've taken a break before reading TT (or was just too anxious to get Merry and Pippin back) to really let his redemption sink in. So, my main memory of him was only his betrayal. I didn't have that sweeping, emotional death scene in my psyche yet.

Now, I realize there is much more to him and he has a very important thematic arc, but if other readers were like me, it's easy to see how they can reach evil!Boromir conclusion. And, there's always that kind of writer that needs to demonize another character in order to produce drama. Thranduil, Boromir, and Denethor are ripe candidates for those kinds of writers.

I think a lot of people first encountered LotR when they were young so it's easy to see Boromir as bad because he has flaws but as an adult he's easier to appreciate as a complex character.

I'm mostly commenting because I didn't realize he was hated within the movie fandom and it's clear imho he's the best part of the first film!!
