The first time I went to see TTT I didn't pay that much attention to Ian or Gandalf, because of the million other things that were crowding my mind at the moment. But on second time around I once again realized that Ian McKellan makes an absoluteley perfect Gandalf. The thing about his performance is, im my opinion, his voice. It has always the right amount of everything, from anger and authority to compassion and humour. Perfect, I tell you, perfect.<P>I agree with you, Rimbaud, that maybe some members of the cast (like Elijah Wood...) might've profited from a better script and direction. (I really liked PJ&co.'s work , but yes, some things could've been done better.)<BR>But I also agree with Lush. The actors Rimabaud mentioned were all wonderful, and I don't think their performances were in any ways wronged. (sorry for the poor choise of words, but you get my point)
