Kathy: From Ebert's review:
Frodo, the nominal hero, spends much of his time peering over and around things, watching others decide his fate, and occasionally gazing significantly upon the Ring.
Does this man not understand ACTING?!! Jeez, with all the movies he has seen in his life, you think he would know that the best of all acting is in the eyes, and to follow what EW is doing, you have to look for it, but it's all there. Grrrrrr...
FayJay: Oh fer feck's sake. What would he make of Hamlet?
Hamlet, the nominal hero, spends much of his time peering at his mother and his step father, watching others decide his fate, and occasionally gazing significantly upon the skull of the old court jester.
