To reconcile your dilemma...choose the book! always! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The changing of Frodo's character, I believe, is one of the worst alterations the movie could possibly make, and is my biggest complaint about it. (which goes hand in hand with my complaint about Arwen stealing Frodo's place at the fords) If I were you, I'd forget the movie Frodo as best I could, and pray that the next movies show a little more of Frodo's 'true' nature. (of which I am doubtful)
It is a good movie, as movies go. Of course some adaptation needs to be made, to translate such a rich story to film. But what has been done in this movie is beyond 'adaptation'...it is 're-writing'. Such a shame.
