Top 3 Best Cast Characters Thread...

[durin's bane]

Alrighty, let's see here....

TFotR:
1) Gandalf-- Ian McKellan
Gandalf's best performance. Everything from the voice to the walk makes him a very believable Gandalf.
2) Boromir-- Sean Bean
Really, good ol' Boromir deserves spot #1. Sean portrayed him so well, and was dead on to book Boromir.
3) Sam-- Sean Astin
Of course! Sam was brilliant, right down from his speech to his hobbity face.

TTT:
1) Eowyn-- Miranda Otto
Simply the best female character ever made in the book, and Miranda portrayed that very well.
2) Sam-- Sean Astin
Even better than in Fellowship.
3) Gollum-- Andy Serkis
Nobody could have made a better Gollum. The voice, the movements.... Andy almost made me like Gollum.

TRotK:
1) Sam-- Sean Astin
He was definately the best! Hooray for Sam!!
2) Aragorn-- Viggo Mortensen
Return of the King really made me notice Aragorn. Viggo made Aragorn get on to my list of favourites.
3) Eowyn, Pippin and Faramir all are tied for this one. I don't know why, I just thought they all did an excellent job.

Overall:
1) Sam-- Sean Astin
Like you couldn't see that coming. Sam was the best! Sean got his personality perfect. He looks like I always pictured Sam, pots on the back and all. Sam always had the tear-jerking moments, the most humourous moments.... Sam has always been one of my favourite characters, and Sean really made me feel proud to be a Sam fan.
2) Eowyn-- Mirando Otto
All I really need to say about her is when I mentioned her in TTT.
3) Gollum-- Andy Serkis
Once again, my full opinion is in TTT.

And just for fun:

The Worst:
Gothmog-- I always imagined him as this really tall Orc, fully armoured, with a helm upon his head and an axe in his hand. Not some peach, eyeless, popcorn-head THING.
Elrond-- Hugo Weaving does NOT know how to play an Elf.
Denethor-- Um....'nuff said.
