This is an old thread, but I just have to throw in -
Let me preface this by saying that I have never read the books, though I tried very hard and I can usually get through anything.
As a fangirl (more properly one of
those fan girls), I spent most of the movies on the edge of my seat thinking, "Just make out already! It'll clear your head!"
I got angry at Sam when he got married at the end. No wonder Frodo left *g*
There's something about Elijah Wood that I find appealing, but in a very perverse and morbid way. I feel the same way about John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi. There's someting
about them that I want, but I could never take them home to mom.
I loved all of the films, but I have to admit that Frodo grated upon the nerves. I got very tired of him fainting all the time, though his reasons were perfectly legitimate. I also got tired of his snappishness and his refusal to obey the simplest of advice, no matter who it came from.
Gollum: Don't look into the water.
Frodo: *splash*
Sam: Gollum is a liar.
Frodo: I feel his pain.
Gollum: *chomp*
Personally, I liked Merry and Pippen much more. Though they should have made out as well.
