Elijah Wood was my one criticism of the movies. Reading the books, Frodo was self-doubting but tough. Watching the movies, Frodo was a complete whimp with perpetually watering eyes.
Otherwise, I thought they were well done if too short.
Agree. Frodo in the books was not the whiny wimp portrayed in the movies. Overall I really liked the movies as well, but I really wish they'd cut the parts toward the end of the 3rd movie where they spent 15 or so sickening minutes crying and looking all mooney eyed and pathetic before boarding the ship to the Undying Lands. What a pukefest that overly long segment was.
