Cinematic Frodo: Victim of Downsizing?
I warred with myself whether or not to weight down the ROTK-Elijah Wood thread with this topic, but then decided to go ahead and start anew, as it concerns the entire characterization of the character of Frodo, and not just ROTK and not just Elijah Wood, for that matter. Some of you may have seen the pro and con reviews on theonering.net.
