Each Member Of The Fellowship Of The Ring Ranked Worst To Best

9. Boromir

Sean Bean has become an icon in the fantasy world, playing two of the most compelling and divisive characters that we have seen in the genre. Although Ned Stark was a brilliant role, it can never beat Boromir.

As a soldier, a character and a performance Boromir deserves better than being at the lowest position; unfortunately, his contribution to the fellowship of the ring was to be a source of conflict for the characters to overcome. The pressure he feels to honour his father and maintain the safety of Gondor, coupled with his weak mental fortitude led to the collapse of the fellowship, and due to this, he has to rank last.

This is not to discredit all of the excellent work that Boromir did. He always acted as the voice of reason when it came to the Halflings, evidently caring on numerous occasions where others saw no time for patience. Heroically, Boromir dies defending Merry and Pippin. This minor redemption seeks to help Boromir; however, his attempting to steal the ring from Frodo proves that his place in the trilogy was as the conflict of the first film and not a consistent character.
