I would agree that the Frodo in the books is much different from the one on the screen. I prefer the book-Frodo; however, I wouldn't necessarily place all of the 'bad' on Elijah. PJ had control of the story and scenes, and so what could Elijah do? He may have wanted to be a bit less wimpy, but it wasn't his call. Can't remember how many times I thought while watching the movies, "Here we go again. Frodo's in trouble, whining and someone's got to save him." Ugh.
Visually I think that Elijah was fine, and I think that he's a good actor, but his character suffered from PJ-itis.
