It is hard to have more than a few heros in a movie. That is my major complaint in the Tom Clancy books/movies. The books show average people being heroic, the movies Not. I think Faramir got caught up in this and had his heroism turned down.
I have a complaint about the horses and elephants. They will not ride close to one another. This is true in real life as well as in the books. The movie has them riding past each other. No problem.
Right.
