When it comes to John Noble, Miranda Otto and Bernard Hill, it's very hard for me to rate them as I think the acting was great but the parts were just wrong, wrong, wrong. These (particularly Theoden and Denethor) just weren't the people I got to know in the books.

Judging on acting alone:
least favourite - Elijah Wood. I really liked him in Ice Storm but now I can hardly bear to look at his picture he annoys me so much. I wasn't too pleased with Dominic Monaghan as Merry but that was more a case of miscasting than bad acting.
best: Ian McKellen, Karl Urban (a perfect and under-used Eomer)
Honourable mention to Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, a damn difficult role and she carried it off well.
