I wouldn't agree with Bilbo as he ages too quickly and seemed too fearful when he plays his 'trick' at his birthday party.
Do you mean Gandalf the Grey is "completely messed up" or Gandalf the White? The Grey I liked; the White I thought too much like Roy Rogers. (But then I don't particularly like The White in the Book.)

Funnily enough, I think Boromir was credibly portrayed.

Treebeard was pretty good in the Movie too, as I recall.

Any takers for Eowyn or even Grima (except he was completely cut out of any credible ending)?
