Several brief comments
I liked the Council of Elrond overall, (especially the MTV easter egg ![]() PJ and friends didn't put in the obvious (book) quote by Elrond: "And I will put the nine walkers against the nine riders." (exact quote may be off). He could even have said "nazgul riders" (or horsemen) to make the allusion obvious to nonbook viewers. I believe Barliman says "He's one of them rangers", indicating that even in PJ's movie there are rangers ranging somewhere around Eriador. And Sean Bean does make a sympathetic Boromir. And exactly why is Leggy, and not Elrond, correcting Boromir? (Oh, yeah, more screen time for the blond elf). It was an excellent touch putting in Gandalf giving his Black Speech bit. As for Gloin, I just assumed he was the dwarf next to Gimli. And let's be thankful that Gimli wasn't tossed away from the Ring when he tried to destroy it.
