Who was the better character in the films? - Page 5 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Majimaume have u seen the behind the scene shots. Andy Serkis deserves a nomination. Everything he did was absolutely amazing. There couldn't be a better person to play Gollum, not even animation by itself could have done such a good job.

Yes I have seen the behind the scene shots and yes I agree with you. You know he started getting into the character before he even got the role. Whole days that he went around on his hands and knees like Gollom just so he might get the part.

I thought the Gollum charactered was based very much (in speech and looks)
on the version in Bakshi's animated film

Boromir and Samwise were by far the closest characters to those portrayed in the books , and I thought Elijah Wood was a poor Frodo

My favourite character from the films is not on the list , but it's Christopher Lee's Saruman , a suitable opponent for the mighty Gandalf , and (possibly) one last chance for Lee to play the bad guy

Aside from the fact that Aragorn was the hottest, but for me when he first "meets" Frodo, it was how I imagine from reading the book he would look. He is loyal and dependable and HOT. I portrays his character well. Although I also throught Gimli was good to.

The worst no question is legolas. In the books and the cartoon hes great. In the films apart from some of his fight scenes hes pants. Why? Because Borelando Bloom is the worst actor in the whole film, he does two good bits of acting 1) his look when Gandalf says "Balroq, a demon from the deep" and 2) his reaction to Gandalf's death. But this isn't supposed to be a rant about legolas is it

Kaenda: You made me laugh. So many young girls love Orlando in this role and I just could'nt see what they were on about. His character seems to lack any substance. Maybe this is dare I say it the fault of the writers or is it just Orlando himself?

Does it really matter if he is hot or not. Viggo Mortensen played Aragorn really well.

Orlando Bloom's fault. He isnt the greatest actor he just has some looks.

I agree when you say Elijah Wood was a poor Frodo. He could have played it alot better.

Lee is the best. PJ hardly told him to do anything. You know when he gets stabbed on top of Orthank? He aparently tries to make the sound of a man being stabbed, which he has heard.

Was gonna suggest Farimir, because he let Sam and Frodo go. He resisted the power of the ring, and his own deep desires to live up to his brother in his fathers eyes, not to mention forfeiting his life. Was some great acting too.

Then I remembered in the second film he sacrificed himself (well almost) and many of his men, at the time they were most needed, because he wouldn't stand upto his father, or himself. And he got Eowyn, the git

Would go with Sam, but his portrayal in the film reminds me too much of Chief O'Brien in DS9. Kept expecting him to call Rosie "Barkeep".

Gonna have to go with Hama. I always admired him for preventing his men from stopping Gandalf, when the fellowship go to meet Theoden. Was a shame him being killed so early on.

The One Ring was actually Sauron..well a part of him so I don't think you can define it as a individual character.

It was certainly the most well-rounded of the characters

That was number 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lame joke that I have heard/read.

Boromir for

-kicking 7 shades of hell out of a load of uruks
-taking 3 shots and still kicking ass

If only he had taken his shield with him

Or his arrow-proof shirt

Boromir, because I prefer ambiguous characters. The others were either too goody-good or too obviously evil. Another wonderful character was Gollum, for the same reason.

I wouldn't trust either with my Ring though...
