Merry Brandybuck has just left Hobbiton.

I think Billy Boyd. Very few actors could have portrayed Pippins absoulte horror when he realises he isn't going to be getting six meals a day while Striders around. He makes the character of Pippin very real, in both the serious and funny aspects of his personality.<P>Ian McKellan made Gandalf his own. It's a practically impossible part, and I doesn't think they could have found anyone better.<P>Elijah struck me as too young to me Frodo. Pippin was supposed to be the youngest, and despite the excellent acting on both parts, there's no getting by the fact that Elijahs about ten years younger in reality.<P>I think Celebron would have sounded wiser, if he had more than two lines.<P>I just didn't like Cate Blanchett as Galadriel. <P>Didn't like Legolas. To much of a cliché, stereotypical elf. He was glorified, out of porportion and and he stole to much of Merry and Pippin screen time.
