I agree that the limited medium affects the performance, but i don't think it covers all of what i disliked about Holm's Frodo. The opening episodes were terrific, especially the bits with the four hobbits together. But towards the end, Frodo is just nasty. He gets very snarly and shouts at sam a lot, and then calms down and becomes tragically melodramatic. Maybe this is Holm's, and other peoples, interpretation of the character. It is not what i found in the character, and I certainly don't see him proceeding every single sentance with a deep dramatic sigh when they get back to the shire. That said, someone might well like this interpretation.
