I think anytime you have a story that starts out as a book, and especially as in LotR, there is a large reading audience, you have so many different interpretations of what the characters and places look like, that when you translate them to the screen with actual people and places, there will always be some who will dislike the result. Even though some of the characters were portrayed differently than I may have visualized in the books, I think all of the actors did a great job of being their characters, do you not? I am looking forward to the next two movies!! My favourite characters were probably (in the movie) Frodo (always liked Elijah Wood, and felt he did good as a Hobbit!) and also Samwise.<P>Your friendly neighbourhood elf, *River*
