Still forming your own images of Middle-earth, or stuck with Elijah and co.?

I haven't got a vision of book-Boromir left,but the character didn't really live with me and Sean Bean did a great job and thus,I don't mind thinking of him as Boromir.

Ian McKellen definitely IS Gandalf as I imagined him and he was a perfect choice. No problem going on there either.

Sam,Merry & Pippin were neat and,in my opinion,severely outshined Frodo. And that's where we meet the problem. Elijah Wood must be the softest,weakest, most homosexual looking (excusez le mot) and chickened Frodo they could have ever chosen. In nothing is he like book Frodo who is merely insecure and uncomfortable at many occasions,rather then s&%*&g his pants every time something nasty comes along. I'm not surprised many movie-goers mistook his relationship with Sam for a homosexual one. All in all, movie-Frodo is an irritating wimp and I'm VERY glad he hasn't replaced my view of book-Frodo.

Everyone else has turned into a mixture of original view and movie-influenced one. Not a bad thing.
