<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Elijah Wood did the best job that he could, given the interpretation of 'Frodo as victim" which he was required to play. The problem does not lie in the actor, but rather in the director and the screenplay. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I totally agree with this statement. I think Elijah is doing a terific job in spite of the way his character was written in the script.<P>I am very disappointed in PJ's version of Frodo. In no way do you see him as the outstanding hobbit he is. In the books you actually feel he is the only one who could possibly accomplish the destruction of the Ring. Beginning with the Weathertop scene, the changes made in the character change Frodo from Tolkien's vision. I believe this will really hurt the end of the story when we hopefully see the other hobbits coming to the forefront back in the Shire after the ring is destroyed.
