I think PJ did mostly a good job, the only people who didn't look like how I pictured then were Aragorn and Frodo.
Now Frodo is supposed to be older, a bit more... err round... less cute. I was surprised, but it wasn't a bad surprise. I didn't have a problem with it really, Elijah did a GREAT job of turning himself into a hobbit and his acting was great.
I pictured Aragorn to be more Built. Sorry to say, Viggo is a lil scrawny to be the tough Ranger Tolkien described. Maybe even tanner, as in more weather beaten. Even more handsome, after all, he's the king!
Ah, after seeing the movies as many times as I have now, I can now understand PJ's vision, and realize that it wasn't as bad after all.
