Yet again, Merry, the overlooked Hobbit.... Merry is the best hobbit of them all! (ok, well to me he is at least.) I really wish there would have been more of him in the movie. Most of the really touching parts with him in Rotk, were not shown in the film. Yet, I throughly enjoyed all the scenes that did make it. I loved his look when he first got to wear the armor. Then when Frodo is leaving he seems to be crying the hardest; it just breaks my heart to see. You see him with his arm around Pippin, and it's so touching. <BR>One of my favorite lines of his in the film was when he said to Pip, after he asks if they will see each other soon, "I don't know. I don't know whats going to happen." I love the way he says it, and it's so true to what Merry would say. He is still just a hobbit who doesn't know whats going on, yet is shows that he is trying to be brave. Also when him and Pip are the first to run the charge after Aragorn and when the ring is destroyed, and you see him yelling "Frodo!" in truimph, it gives me chills (along with with every battle cry he does.) <BR>I think Dominic is an great actor, very big fan of his. He did a good job with Merry.
