Generally, I loved the adaptation. Most of the actors were terrific, the scenes were beautifully described ("Oh look whats this over here" moments notwithstanding) and its very faithful to the books: a lot of the second part comes fron UT.

But Sir Ian Holm bothers me. I really don't like his Frodo. (This is from before i saw the film, incidentally). Up until the breaking of the fellowship, he's great. but then he gradually gets... well... nasty. I know he's under the influence of the ring, but he's always either super-dramatic or shouting at Sam. There's very little of the Frodo i found in the books, the Frodo that never fails to thank Sam, and almost always calms down instantly.

Does this bother anyone else? or do other people find a nasty, snappy frodo in the books?

Ok, rant over! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
