I think its a case of underated. He is a great actor and LOTR he was awesome, also I liked him a small film called "Green Street". However I don't think he has that something extra that makes him really stand out. For example Leonardo Di'Caprio I believe is better because he has some spark about him, and can play the more interesting characters that are slightly unhinged. I wouldn't put him in the all time great either however.

 

To be honest I am not really a super film-buff anyway so I am probably talking out of my bottom :P

It's bad enough that OT gives Laihendi constant attention in political threads, but now he has to be the center of attention in movie threads too (I have no doubt this thread was conceived as Laihendi-bait)? Sheesh.

In b4 somebody says I'm jelly.

I agree with you......I don't get why anyone needs to make a thread about Lai.

I know it is a typical answer, but Jack Nicholsan is the man.  Many other good ones, especially on HBO and SHowtime shows.  Game of Thrones has some very good actors.

It's at least somewhat funny here since Laihendi is hilariously incompetent at talking about Art.

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] No they did not. You are being ignorant. His performance was a perfect realization of Frodo. If you dislike his performance then that just means you dislike the character, regardless of the performance.Laihendi

he was outshined by Sean Astin

No he was not. Sean Astin is an excellent actor, but he by no means outshined Elijah. Frodo became very ill as the movie progressed and relied on Sam to continue his quest. That is a matter of the characters in the story and their relationship to each other, not a matter of one actor outshining the other. Frodo/Sam is perhaps the most beautifully realized friendship in both literature and film.

I have to agree, I cried big time at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring.

In other news, I think John Phillip Law was pretty dreamy. Anyone agree?

No he isn't, but then again I am not a sexually confused young man infatuated with Elijah Wood or Daniel Radcliffe.

I love him in LotR and Wilfred, and his voice acting is always top notch, but lately I believe the most underrated actor is Leonardo DiCaprio.

I don't think he's the "best actor ever" that title would go to Paul Walker, but that's just my opinion

Seriously. DiCaprio is one of the best actors out there,  and  he is very widely recognized as such.

That is an ignorant thing to say. Elijah has been very active in recent years. He has acting roles in 7 upcoming movies, expected to be available to the public in 2013 or 2014.
