I would like to see Frodo portrayed more courageously the way he is in the book. The movie made him kind of wimpy by comparison.

I agree. In the movie he is portrayed as a weak, hopeless, barely able to defend himself.....Thing. One thing I think would help is him all alone at the Ford, holding his sword, and saying "Go back to Mordor, and follow me no more!" I loved that part.
At the Ford, I wouldn't have Arwen OR Glorfindel. I would have Legolas. *Avoids tomatoes* Seriously. It would do two things: 1. give him more character than just a good-looking comic relief, 2. avoids having too many characters. I liked the way they did it in the cartoon, as wicked as it was. Plus, originally, for a second, Tolkien was going to have the same elf at the ford AND in the Fellowship.
I would also give Saruman a different name. His Elvish name? Something to avoid confusion of the two enemies.
Yeah, I can see a remake in like.....25 years. They'll need a new one for the new generation. the Sil....I don't see that coming soon, sorry.
Maybe they would make, like, 20 different movies, but not in one clump.
Good discussion!
