Rate the Cast's performance.

I don't know, I just wasn't impressed by the way he did Elrond.

Long-time lurker pops out of the Lounge to say..yes! It's unfortunate, because Weaving is a talented actor and has a wonderful vocal range. They just didn't use him to best advantage. He came off as a caricature, pompous, stiff, and silly, which is not how I have ever envisioned Elrond. Too bad, because Elrond is a fascinating character. Weaving could have done better and I was surprised that his performance left me so cold.
