Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong but my (and all of my friends) understanding of it is that a Hobbit is supposed to be about 3ft high by 3ft wide... Is the main charachter of the film (the lanky young boy) not supposed to be the Hobbit? Something is seriously amiss...

Thats true, but I think they found it rather hard to either find a 3 foot wide midget nr create a suit for a midget. Cause he'd probably be rolling around instead of walking.

excuse me but no: hobbits are about the size of a dwarf, and sensibly thiner, nothing like a "ball". They're described as agile and sneaky, very stealth creatures. The actors works well for the job, excepted they're too tall.

Just a reminder: No spoilers without ample warnings, please! I know the movie was done after a book, but still...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Legolas's character wasn't really developed too thououghly though.  Maybe they're saving that for The Two Towers.

oh yes! I just saw it  
It's really a new reference  
As a Tolkien fanatic tho, I'm just a bit disapointed that they cut so many parts ( well, knowing the book by heart wasn't  great in that particular case).
but I suppose that for a 2H30 movie, they put as much as they could (I wouldn't have mind an additional 30 minutes, tho).
For me, Star Wars is definitively eclipsed.

well, either it's 2h30, either I had time compression, since it began at 5.30 pm and finished at 8pm...

Your understanding is right, but the character is fine. The characters were shrunk with SES' Houdini and Shake (by Nothing Real) and rotoscoped back onto the film to give the impression that they were, indeed, about 3 feet tall.
