i have nothing against any members of the cast, i thought elrond was excellent! i thought he had that air about him...not royalty, but near it I thought the film was excellent too. I may add at this point that i had never read LOTR before now. The film was perfect for <B>whetting your appetite</B> and <B>introducing more people to tolkien</B> some of the stuff would have been too much or gone over a lot of folks' heads. But they are including some cut scenes into the DVD's arent they? aren't they?? PJ had to take into consideration all the younger folk that would be watching this film, having never even hearing of it before, folks that hadnt read the books, etc...he had to cater for everybody. that's a lot of catering. <I>hats off to PJ & his crew i think that they are purists too</I> (though maybe not as much as some...88% maybe )
