As much as I would like to hear you say
'Boro you are perfectly right and you know best,' I just can't make you do that.
As this is completely opinionated, it's a matter of personal like and dislike (couldn't you just say though that I am absolutely right?
)
Anyway, I see your point, however I think a skilled director could show the agony and power the Ring had over Frodo without making him a total weak whiner that falls down anytime something scares him. Tolkien displays the torment Frodo went through, yet makes him an admirable and strong-willed character. Any director worth half his salt could have effectively done the same thing. There's nothing wrong with Jackson attempting to do what he did, but when people get the wrong idea and just see Frodo as a pathetic useless weakling that needs to die (which is the impression people have gotten), Jackson missed his mark in my eyes.
