 If that was who they picked to be Glorfindel, I am certainly glad they cut him out and substituted Arwen/Liv for the flight to the ford scene.

I quite agree. Thank god I´m not the only one who doesn´t approve of that boy (it is a boy, right?) being Glorfindel the balrog-slayer! I thought that blond elf standing slightly behind Elrond in the same scene was Glorfindel. What a disappointment!
Well, I don´t care what PJ says. That little boy is NOT the lovely and heroic Glorfindel!  |

Horrible is definitely a good response! What happened to the High Elven Lord?

That is not Glorfindel. The image on the left is vaguely pretty, but just that - pretty. What happened to noble, eh?

I'll be blunt.
It looks about 8.
It's not pretty.
It ain't what I think of when I think of Glorfindel.  |

We may disagree over the pretty/not-pretty thing, but s/he is NOT Glorfindel.
Or, y'know, possibly even not male at all.

Thats Jarl Benzon. He is the younger brother of Jorn Benzon who played Rumil. Jarl was also Orlando's body double... I kid you not!
He is the most awful Glorfindel. What the hell were WETA thinking?! Sandro Kopp is an infinitly better Glorfie...

Body double? Really? Intersting

| I too believe that this could be a young Glorfindel (Elfling) but in no way portrays my image of the older Balrogslayer... |

| Glorfindel wouldn't have a spot on his chin. That's just wrong. |

He looks a bit like a younger and less-attractive Richard E Grant.
He's definitely not a Glorfindel though.
Actually while I think about it, Richard E Grant would make a good elf I think.

Poor Jarl. He don't get no respect! 
Seriously though, Glorfindel should have been a blend of Legolas's Elven fairness and Boromir's doughty masculinity. Perhaps such an Adonis doesn't exist. 
Perhaps they were going for the whole 'Light of Valinor' thing. Mr. Benzon looks too pasty white to endure much more than a sneeze from a Balrog, however.
Regards,
The Power of the Book  |
