I agree with all of this, the movie Frodo is a poor sap compared with book Frodo. This change has quite serious implications. Never once when reading the book did I question the wisdom of the great in sending Frodo off with the ring. Frodo was clearly a wise, dependable and noble character, even more so than Bilbo.
But if I'd seen the film without having read the book, I would have been completely bemused. What the hell are they doing sending that pale, shivering, doe-eyed child out into the wild with the most dangerous thing in Middle Earth around his neck? Are they nuts?
