Characters/Cast

[Airetelluma]

Legolas was absolutely incredible; he was just as I had poictured him in my head all along. Gimli was great; John Rhys-Davies always does a nice job. I thought that the hobbits were quite as Tolkien wrote them, although, as Evil Anya pointed out, they were a bit too skinny. Boromir, as I hardly need to reiterate with all of the praise that he's getting here, was amazing. Sean Bean has really outdone himself this time. Gandalf was exactly as I'd pictured him, and the scene at the bridge of Khazad-Dum ("You shall not pass!") was beyond my wildest expectations. Elrond was really the only disapointment; I pictured him being a little more kind and forgiving. As someone pointed out, he does seem to have a bit of green Vulcan blood to go along with those pointy ears. ^_^ All in all, though, the people in charge of casting for the movie deserve some medals and awards, and having their names exalted on high.
