[Amanaduial the archer]

actually i watched the matrix about 2 weeks b4 i saw lotr the 2nd time and whenever i looked at elrond, he was so...evil!i meanhe was 2 badguy-esk,if u get me...no?never mind...<BR>most of the characters i thought were portrayed brilliantly tho...<BR>frodo-elijah wood was made to be a hobbit!<BR>merry-not the obvious choice at first sight, but in the film....wow!<BR>pippin-billy boyd was also made to be a hobbit!he was even better a pippin than i could hav imagined,my fave character in the book and film, and his accent gave something extra to it as well.<BR>aragorn-perfect,which i was glad about becoz on the tape he sounds evil!<BR>elrond-*shudder*<BR>arwen-quite good,but to soppy.she didnt seem elfy enough!<BR>sam-good.not big enuff to analyze really.<BR>bilbo-perfect.<BR>gandalf-was givn to big a part.in the book,frodo was quite obviously the main character,buti mean ian mckellan was nominated 4 best leading actor in the BAFTAs!<BR>saruman-great and strong lead baddy.<BR>gimli-ok now dont even get me started.the dwarves annoyed me in the books at the best of times,and in the film it was even worse.<BR>legolas-good.dont mean to start a war,but he seemed to hobble a bit on the snow!1 thing i thought he pulled off very well was the elvish speaking,which he did very well,smoothly and fluently,unlike arwen.gave the aura of elfiness.<BR>boromir-also perfect,exactly how i would hav imagined from the book.<BR>lol<BR>amy
