The part when Boromir stops Frodo at the Bridge when Gandalf falls and picked him up and carries him off was really, really well done, and is that the sort of thing you wanted more of?

YES exactly. IMO, the acting and portrayal was above par for the hobbits. It was the visual representation that I was trying to describe. I thought more emphasis should have been placed on the visual of what a hobbit looked like compared to men, dwarves, etc. Even hobbit POV would have helped. But for me - I needed to see more of those costly Council of Elrond shots where it showed that yes - a hobbit in a group of regular sized folks - ahhh - hobbits me sees
edit - as for the elves: Much harder for my minds eye to cast than hobbits. overall adequate casting and presentation. a little fru fru for my taste on the wardrobe but again - adequate. I like the effect of light in the eyes and faces. And if I can ever forget the overly done negative special effects on Galadrial in that one scene, I would even say that Blanchette did a decent job... but geez I cant....
