Maybe I'm just odd but...
I saw the FOTR before I had even considered picking up a book. I was drawn in by the story and had met the characters for the first time. Oddly enough though, even today after watching the movies more than is probably good for me, I find that the characters from the books don't match the actors. I have no clear view as to what the book characters look like for me, they just don't match say...what did you call him "bug-eyed Elijah Wood". It's almost like it's a different story to me. If I were to put faces to the characters, I think I'd find that they looked more like the animated characters. Not as glamorous as the live actors, and even though they're animated, more realistic.

The movies were very powerful images, yes. But at least to me the visual and the imagination will always remain two seperate entities, never to amalgamate.
