Limiting potential imagination

[Saraphim]

One thing i can't stand about the movies is Legolas. I can no longer read the book without the blond-haired, black-eyebrowed, arrow and obvious-comment spewing character invading my mind. This also happens with Frodo, but Elijah Wood does a better and more convincing character than orlando Bloom, so it's not as annoying.
Oddly, Gandalf and Aragorn looked and acted just as I had pictured them, and Gimli and the hobbits to a certain degree. So most of the actors did imprint themselves onto my imagination, some more unfortunatly than others.
(Sorry to any and all offended by my spiel)
