In my opinion, Elijah Wood WAS Frodo, Hands DOWN. It takes a lot to play a character like Frodo, because he is the "everybody" character-the one that everyone is supposed to relate to, to feel like they're a part of, when going on the journey to the Cracks of Doom. I think that Elijah had the right mix of vulnerability, stage presence, and talent to play his character...not to mention the perfect looks for Frodo. He did such a good job, because watching him makes you feel such compassion for him, as well the fellowship that was made to protect him...you don't want him to get hurt because you care about frodo, you feel like you're part of the journey. Just think of how it would be if someone ELSE played frodo...the movie would have been AWFUL! Elijah Wood was the ONLY one who could of brought Frodo to life the way he did.<P>As for Huge Weaving, I think he did a great job and does look like Elrond ought to look. (of course i am biased because i saw the movie first, but..anyway...).It IS funny though, because i can just imagine him saying..."You seem to be living two lives, Mr. Baggins..." LOL. Overall, i think the cast was excellent. And i hope Ian wins for best supporting actor. Gandalf was great.
