Elijah Wood was great. I really got to see the turmoil that the ring put him through. I think that he should have looked more worn when he returned to the shire, not much but a little. One other point is that they probably filmed that at the beginning, while they were shooting stuff from the Fellowship, so they probably didn't really have a clear idea of what Frodo was going to be by the end of ROTK. <P>About the opened eyes, I think that it could have worked, but not with EW's eyes. They are too big and too blue for him to look dead with them open. Perhaps if they were just partly shut he would have looked more poisoned. On the other hand they helped make the rest of him look really dead and pale.
