Hugo Weaving did a great job as Elrond, I think its because he's so very different to my mental image (I always saw him with shorter hair for a start), that I'm not so keen. I think Viggo was brilliant as Aragorn, he looked right to me as well as IMO getting close to the chraracter, nothing short of miraculous when you think how short a time he had to prepare. Sean Bean gave Boromir a depth of humanity not present in the books, and Christopher Lee, well he IS Saruman- that voice!
