Well I read the books before the movie came out. However the book was the official movie one, with pictures on the back. So I was maybe a little tainted, but after watching the movie multiple times I still retain my own images. Movie Galadriel and "my" book Galadriel are almost identical; it is the same with Gandalf and Boromir. Arwen and Legolas looked a little too "modelish" to be "true" elves, but they line up pretty good{although my Legolas does NOT have dark eyebrows and a sissy voice}. I thought the hobbits were also reasonably well casted, although I would have made them a bit thicker around the waist at the start of the journey. The one person I could not see was Elrond. In the movie every time I see him I expect him to don sunglasses and start shooting. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
