I very much enjoyed the performance of Elijah in this film. But his look when he is poisoned by Shelob is freaky! Usually his eyes don't bother me much, but this time they did. I couldn't get emotional during the scene where Sam is cradling him because that look is just so scary. Someone needs to tell Mr. Jackson that he needs to have the eyes close when people die or get posioned, because if not it looks like there still alive (or frozen). But I know, I know, sometimes when people die their eyes don't close, but It is just that in the book there was (I think) a passage about how peaceful Frodo looked, but he didn't look peaceful here! It just bugs me.<P>Other than that, I personally didn't think that he looked too happy when he was in the Shire, you could see that he still had a little weariness, but yes, it wasn't as much as in the book. But the final scene when he is looking back from the Ship at the Grey Havens, I love that. That will be the image of the movie Frodo that I will remember forever <P>Oh, and I loved his new silver waistcoat too
