<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Somehow, I feel that Aragorn could be a little more...kingly. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually, the look in his eyes says it all for me! It tells me the King has returned indeed, and Aragorn the Ranger metamorphoses into Elessar the King; that's a nice thought for me, at least! His expression is much more set and calm, even than previously. It speaks to his acceptance of destiny, or something like that! (Forgive me, I like to analyze pictures like this!). And for those of you who find his eyes scary, I always found Frodo's much more so. Elijah Wood should play a serial killer, truly! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I didn't know they altered eyes, but there is one pair I wished they did change: Frodo's. Hobbits are supposed to be earthy-looking, and I think he fails terribly. but he's still cute.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Speaking of Frodo eyes and Frodo's look, I think it is actually apt that they chose someone a bit ethereal, rather than earthy for this role. It underscores the "elvish" air that Faramir and others notice about Frodo in an external way, so we can all see it. Sure he doesn't look quite hobbitish; he looks like a little Elf! Cheers, Lyta
