Ebert's review

[obscenename]

Ebert's confusion may be a result of Jackson's lame editing. The only closing to Faramir's arc in the movie is his big moment smiling at Eowyn at the coronation. Perhaps, as far as Ebert knows, he died from the injuries he suffered hopelessly assailing Osgiliath. That suicide charge could have been what he was referring to.

The movie was not good because of everything that was left out to make it 200 minutes. I can't say those 10 movies were better, but ROTK left me mad that I have to wait another 10 months for the EE. We fill in the gaps in our minds. People that haven't read the books just have the gaps.
