Of course, I think the casting was good; Elrond needs to have that authorative tone. Nothing at all against Hugo Weaving, or Elrond, but I had a most difficult time of getting the image of Agent Smith out of my head.
Inspired person(s) have created some amusing pictures of our grouchy Elf lord, who, I might add, was so close to victory in Revolutions it disgraced many a thing. I was cheering for him since film one. Really, machines that actually have "honor" is disgusting! They chould have obliterated Zion with a ringing finality, been rid of Smith's disruption, and been worry-free for all eternity! What were they thinking?!! (a sort of a horrorible realization kin to the confusion I felt Sunday the 11 of January, when Brett Favre "whoopsied" in overtime) For you who did not see the "whoopsie," I give this example: A student of a respectable college toils for a number of years, only 6 credits short of graduation, and suddenly drops out. Who cares why; even an employer would understand the need to obtain a degree. THAT is the level of shock and stupidity we're talking about here.
