well i didn't have much time last so let go over ALL the characters i can remember AND what annoyed me [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] :

frodo: good in FOTR, crappy in TTT. sounded american, looked am dram, couldn't cope with the weight of such a role. too young.
sam: annoyed me. too, i can't describe it. just genreally stupid and annoying.
merry: big nose. sorry; that's all i see when i see dominic monaghan. don't think he's a very good actor either though alright
pippin: annoying. why didn't he to change the scottish accent? the maericans changed there? scotland isn't the england tolkien set LOTR in.
gandalf: pretty good. mckellen is a wonderful actor (saw him o nstage)
aragorn: liked him actually.
boromir: love sean bean so can't say. another wodnerful stage actor.
gimli: odd accent. pretty good. bad comic relief
legolas: hard to say
elrond: good
arwen: what can i say
galadriel: not pretty enough
celeborn: hmmmmmmmmm
bilbo: good
faramir: don't start
eowyn: didn't like her
eomer: failed to make an impression but good i think
theoden: too young looking. bad exorcising
grima: wonderful. looked totally wrong but performed so well i didn't think of that til afterwards
saruman: what can i say? christopher lee is the master. all bow down to him NOW!
glorfindel: where was he?
haldir: why did he die?
hama: not how i imagined him
treebead: f**k off, that's not an ent. his size changed! he was tricked for god's sake. they aren't tricked, they are the oldest living things in ME!

crazy...they should have had boromir in TTT like i nteh book. faramir was better in teh book. i mean, they couldn't even get his hair colour right. he is the complete opposite of what he is in the book. i nthe book he is inspirational, here he is stupid.

i don't care if the characters in the movies are more human. HELLO: LOTR IS A FANTASY! do wizards exist in real life? do ents? do hobbits? so why can we not make the humans glorious and wise if we can have all of these diffierent races of people? human isn't a particularly good thing anyway; look what we are doing to the world.

well i forgot the rest and i have to go anyway [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
