King of the North has just left Hobbiton.
Even though I have a great amount of respect for Elijah and everyone else's hard work on the LotR Trilogy, I was sometimes annoyed by Elijah's performance, especially voice. But seeing as Mr. Wood put forth his hardest effort, I believe that his acting problems were mainly due to lack of experience and himself. He cant help the latter reason. Face it, at age 23 or so, u have a set voice, and a set voice for certain types of characters. But still, he was not entirely helpless. I personally admire and respect Frodo in the books because he is noble and wise beyond his years and race. In the movies, he is helpless and can't survive unless trusty Samwise is at his side. Whereas in the book, Frodo is above Sam in almost every way possible. When these movies first came out, I knew a few characters were going to not match the book, or be poorly portrayed. Movies will never be as good as the books they depict. But for the movie version, Elijah was good enough.
