So who is the definitive hobbit?
|
Can't Post

Probably been discussed before but I can't be bothered looking.
For me Martin Freeman was superb and nailed the role in a way that I never felt with Elijah Wood. He just feels more 'hobbity'. He definitely puts more physical characterisation into the role with a range of facial expressions and mannerisms that help make Bilbo, for me, more enjoyable to watch.
Wood's Frodo on the other hand is to my mind quite flat by comparison. I always felt watching the LOTR trilogy that Frodo was a hobbit of few words and many pained expressions which I found quite tiresome and that's how I remember the character.
Of course we've only seen one Freeman performance so far and It'll be interesting to see how the character changes but I'm looking forward to it.

It's: Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins! The bravest little hobbit of them all!

It's hard to judge when Freeman has only been in one film. /

"My dear Frodo" was meant to show PJ's love for Elijah's work.//
