The movie rocked. But it bugged me that movie-Frodo doesn't really get tough until the banks of the Anduin. Book-Frodo gets tough in the Barrow against the Barrow-Wight, he's tough at Weathertop, and stays tough til he confronts the nazgul at the river ford (alone). Another things that bugs me is, PJ only ever gives movie-Frodo one-liners to say. In the book, Frodo is an elegant, gifted speaker, funny, thoughtful, careful, deep. In the movie, all he gets is phrases. <P>I guess he makes up for it with his eyes and body language-- but if you had put it all together, movie-Frodo would have been formidable.
