That might be true, but one thing LotR had over the Prequels was not using green screen and tennis balls for every shoot (which might be why The Hobbit suffers so).

As for the 'Go back to the land of Mordor' its a bit silly, I didnt like it when I read it for the first time in the book. Its probably the only line in the Whole of the books that doesnt sit well for me.

To each his own. I'm just saying that BF is defying the enemy, not whining or simpering.

Soft and stern, yep he is like that in the film too. The only real difference between MF and BF are one or two ineffectual swipes at Ringwraiths, the lack of which does not mean that MF is suddenly a wimp.

Not really. Some top-of-mind examples (more in the SbS):
- Frodo did not look effectual when being manhandled by Strider in Bree.
- 'Give the Ring back to the baby' is what I see on Caradhras.
- His upper lip is not very stiff when suffering from the Nazgul wound.
- The Watcher wrings some more 'whine' out of MF.
- Begging Faramir to let him go, to the point of it looking like a tantrum.
- Almost giving the Ring to the Winged Nazgul in Osgiliath.
- Cirith Ungol and the lembas.
- The big swoon when 'hit' by the Eye light on Mordor.
I'm sure there are some scenes where MF shows some spine. Any examples?
