Imladris has just left Hobbiton.

I didn't like the movie Theoden either. I always pictured him as a kindly old man with long white hair and a long white beard. He's just too young in this movie. Good thing he didn't have too much screen time.

As for Frodo/Elijah being immature, I think that it was probably a good thing they had him so scared. As for falling down at Weathertop, he did become unconscience in the book. When he fell down in Moria, when he came to face to face with the cave troll, that was scary and rather a shock (even I jumped in my seat the first time I saw it in theatres). He's a hobbit less than a yard tall, and here is a cave troll who is 9 feet tall!!! And for falling down at the end off the watch tower, he was trying to get away from the eye. And Frodo had to look young because he got the Ring in his tweens, and the Ring kept him from aging.

Arwen's okay...not my favorite. Cate did a good job as Galadriel. I liked her.
