Bad casting - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I didn't think Bernard Hill's Theoden was terrible, but it could have been better. I most defintely didn't like the way he was during Helm's Deep, but I did like his Speech before they go into battle. I have only seen him in one other film and that is Titanic (which I watched tonight, it was on TV), so maybe he is just bitter because in every major film he is in he has to die?<P>Yes, I still (even though I think he did fine) don't know why they cast Hugo Weaving as Elrond. He just always looked stressed out and he needs to find himself a new eyebrow plucker. But then also right now I can't think of another person they could have cast, so I guess it ended up okay.
