And didn't JRD work because he was as much taller than the hobbit actors as a dwarf would be to a hobbit?
But then - are people like Aidan Turner that tall?
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But Gandalf was taller than both of them. Also, Armitage is as much taller than Freeman as JRD was taller than Wood.
They'll work it out, I think.

I watched Frogs many years ago while trapped at the step-family's house for Thanksgiving weekend.
It was the best part of the long weekend.

Martin Freeman is wee. Around 5'6". Armitage claims 6'2".

I got the 5'7 for Martin Freeman from IMDB. So, related grain of salt.
eta: celebheights.com says 5'6.5

Is Frogs (1972) worth watching?
That depends. Are you a bitter enemy of Ray Milland's who would be cheered by watching the depths to which he was forced to sink later in his career?

Is it better or worse than the film where he was a two-headed monster with Rosy Grier?

Colin Farrell is frontrunner for Total Recall remake lead. I hate just about all of Arnie's work (outside of the Terminator franchise), so I'm thrilled at the idea of Tom Hardy or Colin Farrell having a go at it.

But the ending of the movie was so bad. How can that be redeemed?
