I have to admit that I liked him in this one. Yes, I know he was different from the book, but this is one aspect of this movie that I still like. In the first one he was a bit emasculated, yes...but in this one he wasn't as much, I thought. Let's put it this way: he scared me in places, like I wouldn't want to get in his way or have him catch me looking at the Ring or something like that.<P>I like Elijah's acting...okay, okay I'll admit it, I love psychosis. To pieces. I love characters on the edge, and so I enjoyed every time he yelled at Sam or rolled his eyes up into his head. (And especially that "They're coming" line...silly as it was I liked it). Not that I don't like Sam and liked to see him get yelled at, of course. It's just that it's so disconcerting to see Frodo act that way towards beloved Sam and...I sorta liked that. In a twisted way, probably.<P>I don't really have it all that sorted out, actually. My feelings about the Frodo portrayal. I liked it, but it got all mixed up with the truely dismal Faramir and so I'm still trying to work that out.<P>In summary: I liked it. I know it was different from the book, but those of you who don't like the difference in character must forgive me because Frodo was never my favorite in the book. So I can't get upset too much about changes in that respect.<P>Edit: Eew, I just looked this over and it has hideous rambling grammar. Sorry. But like I said, I don't have my opinions on the matter sorted out yet so my thoughts are wandering.<p>[ December 18, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]
