There are one or two scenes in the picture that I felt could've been dispensed with, but overall it was a stunning success both artistically and from the standpoint of respecting Tolkein's original vision. Keep in mind that this is an epic that most folk's had given up on ever being filmed properly.

And how about that terrible portrayal of Elrond. Of course, I don't know what an elf would behave like, but somehow, I doubt it would be like a an Agent from the Matrix. Was practically the same (stiff, wooden) performance.
The actor's portrayals in those two films were entirely different, IMHO; if my wife hadn't pointed out to me who he was I wouldn't have made the actor's connection with both movies. Of course some may see this differently, but I found the actor's performance in LoTR was restrined, aristocratic and circumspect, reflective of the Elfin character's wisdom & long life (i.e., immortality).AuPh
