Any LOTR fans here?

Of the Matrix???...........That explains it.

Did you not know that?? I thought everybody did. Huh, learn something everyday.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Yep agreed on that. The other two charecters that did not fit in my opinion were Aragorn (too young for the years spent in the wilderness) and Elrond. Elrond just never looked right to me. The wisdom and compassion of the elf just never came across in the movie. Arwin was spot on .

Thirded Jim's and seconded your comments.....Elrond was a disappointment.

So was Gimli - Did they have to make the dwarves look like an idiot race? I suppose he was a candidate for a comic character, but what about a hobbit?

Haha, now lets pick holes in the movies.... a never-ending task, I read the books at least once a year for a time - have a hard-cover illustrated "The Hobbit", plus a paperback, one-volume trilogy, plus Unfinished Tales, and the Tolkein biography....(read big fan - though not obsessed I find it hard to get obsessed about anything, I'm too much of a realist....) Loved the depth in the books, and was a little disappointed by the lack of depth in the movies, and the over-dramatic moments.... Still I suppose it had to be hollywooded.....

BTW...he was also Bubby, as in, Bad Boy Bubby.

Frodo: Gandalf, what are we to do with this ring?

Gandalf: It has to be taken to Mordor and thrown into the fires of Mt Doom

Frodo: But that will take weeks of marching, lots of battles, everybody nearly dying and untold death, destruction and hardship.

Gandalf: Nah - I know some giant eagles that can whisk us in there in no time. Back in time for lunch!

Frodo: Sweet!
