I will admit to not being a Tolkien geek (fell in love with the movies, read the books after, still prefer the movies), but I am curious as to your inclusion of Arwen, seeing as most book fans seem to find her movie character out-of-character, probably because book-version didn't really have a character and the movies gave her more to do. Or are you just saying that movie Arwen has the appropriate "feel" for being an elf?

I do love movie Galadriel and Thranduil, as they both have this sort of beautiful coldness, but there's a lot of power beneath that. I have to admit liking Galadriel best in the original LOTR, not so much in The Hobbit, but I do love that snarky assholish Tranduil.

Sorry, I got a little tl;dr. Just curious about Arwen!

I merely meant look-wise. She looks like an elf, or at least as close as a human can. Arwen is supposed to be particularly beautiful, and Liv Tyler is stunning.

Personality wise, yes, she was very different from the books. But then again, Arwen was mostly a non-entity in the books. I actually didn't mind the additional stuff in Fellowship, I just didn't like the added stuff in Two Towers or ROTK as much.

Sorry for the incredibly delayed reply, I log on a bit infrequently. Yes, agreed that Arwen was a non-entity, and since I'm not a book purist, I was fine with her taking on some of Glorfindel's duties in the film. :) I think that they did need to beef up her roles. I think there was some stuff of hers that I thought was extraneous - probably the scene where Aragorn goes over the cliff in TTT, and we have that weird imaginary scene between her and Aragorn. But in ROTK, I loved the scene where Elrond is cautioning her about her life with Aragorn - some of my friends thought it slowed up the action, but I thought it was just so beautifully done. It's one of the scenes with her that sticks most in my mind, where she's wearing black and wandering through the forests.

I did like that scene. I just didn't like that she stayed for her future son rather than for her love of Aragorn.
