16. Boromir


When I first watched the Fellowship of the Ring, I hated Boromir. He was a jealous $!$% who felt threatened by Aragorn. And he wanted to take the ring and use it for his own selfish, power hungry reasons. I was glad when he died. But upon a second watching, I liked him more. He seems like one of those tough guys (see Sawyer from Lost) who is tough for a reason - because his past was fucked up and he went through hard times. He has good intentions at heart. And he died protecting the hobbits from orcs, which is admirable. His family sucks, but he's all right.

15. Bilbo Baggins


Bilbo's a good character but he's kind of pathetic. He was under the Ring's power for a long, long time and became addicted to it, almost like a drug. Even though he knew it was best for him, he still had a hard time leaving the Ring behind when he left the Shire. When he was an old ass man and on his deathbed, he still wanted the Ring. Dude, get over it. Overall Bilbo just seemed like a really selfish character who only cared about himself and the Ring. I do like his adventurous spirit however. Hopefully they make a The Hobbit movie someday so we can find out more about his past and how he came about finding the Ring.

14. Theoden


When we first met Theoden, he was just a miserable shell under the power of Saruman. After being freed by Gandalf is when we got to meet the real Theoden. He's actually a good guy who has a strong sense of justice and doing the right thing. He was apprehensive about helping Gondor, since they did not help Rohan in their time of need. But in the end he did the right thing, which really shows his true character. Theoden seemed like a good, compassionate man who genuinely cared about family and the well being of others. Can't fault that, can you? He only doesn't rank higher because he wasn't very colorful and was too business like all the time.
