I am for the most part happy with the casting. I was very worried about Sean Astin, but from what I have seen I think he will do a good job... Sam is the heart of the books. <P>I like Liv Tyler... with good direction I think she will do fine. Boromir is the only Character that does not fit my image... he should be much bigger and more doughty... SP?<P>Frodo... and the other Hobbits are perfect... exactly as I imagined and Ian's Gandalf is without exception one of the best casting decisions as was Legolas!<P>As to Hugo Weaving as Elrond? I will have to wait and see... His performances in both Percilla and the Matrix were excellent. As an actor and a person he gets high marks from me!
