Was the cast of characters perfect? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I really liked this cast. I mean, it could have been just terrible. But I liked Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen as Frodo and Gandalf, and Sean Astin as Sam. And, looking back, I see someone picking on Dominic Monaghan's nose. But it looks totally hobbity, and that is one of my favourite bits about casting him as Merry. But all in good fun; I suppose we all have our own versions of what looks "hobbity". <BR>And yes, I was as annoyed as anyone with the expansion of Arwen's role, but besides that I think Liv did a good job. But I have never been able to critize movies, so don't take my advice (obviously you have all seen the movie, or else I would tell you to) .
