I think Elijah Wood is a wonderfully gifted actor, and I love watching his version of Frodo on screen, but the thing is, it is his version (or the screenwriters), not the book version. In the book, Frodo seemed to be a way braver charater, but in the movie he is kind of whimpy (in a way). I am NOTsaying that I do not like it, I actually kind of like the haunted look that he has through most the film.I wish Elijah Wood would have read the books before he had filmed the films, because some of the other actors (example:Ian McKellan, Sean Astin)who had read the books, seemed to hit their charaters right on the mark (because those two charaters act exactly like they do in the book)But for me Frodo is a little off key, but I still like the movie version. OK, I like both
