I think it was overdone. I always imagined her talking with emphasis in her Queen of Darkness part, not what the movie made her seem like. She didn't look altogether beautiful in that scene either. More like an ugly dark queen, which misses part of her description when she grows taller. And that fact that Sam wasn't there really ****ed me off as well, but I wont get into that.<P>Overall I think the elves (Besides Legolas) were pretty horribly done. When the fellowship enters Lorien and they are confronted by Haldir and his two followers, they are practically looking at them with malice and scorn Constantly. It was like PJ was trying to make the elves look way too serious. To me it seemed like the elves were constantly squinting at the fellowship like they were looking at inferior scumb.<P>Those are just my feelings. Im suprised nobody else has commented on it. And for my last misgiving about the elves, I didn't like the actor for Elrond. He looked old and bald. Elrond does not look old.
