I that Lij did great... And, he and Sean looked great together. Their friendship is genuine on and off screen.

okay, i think I can see what you mean about his young look and so, but since I hadn't read the books before watching the films, I couldn't think of anyone better ...

I only saw the movies, including those crappy cartoons that came out long long ago... so Elijah Wood fit my vision of Frodo perfectly. He definately had the adorable "innocence" that the hobbits seemed to represent. I think he filled a remarkably difficult role with it, and did and excellent job with it at that. He really lost himself in the character, and you don't ever actually "SEE" him acting. You know with some actors you can see them struggling to remember their lines or hear them thinking "Look SERIOUS now" eventhough they are really running their laundry list or something... (Brad Pitt in did it in some of the big "dramatic" scenes in Troy... you could SEE him "acting"... and that is something you should NOT be able to see an actor do) He commited to the part and LIVED in that character well enough to make you forget who he is and what other parts he has played.
But as far as casting goes... I am sure there are other actors talented enough to have pulled it off just as well if they were given the chance. (everyone is replacable) what does anyone think about Jake Gyllenhal... he probably could have played Frodo pretty well.

I think Lij did a GREAT job and i really couldnt picture anyone else in his role because every different actor would picture Frodo differently and I liked the way Elijah did he looked perfect Now if we were to replace him (i know everyone says this! ) but i would have to be...
Tobey Maguire!

Lij was wonderful! But if I was to replace him w/ someone else, although I probaly wouldn't, I'd have to say Tobey Maguire too. But elijah was probaly the best choice.
