I like Cate Blanchett's performance a lot, although I agree that the special effects were unintentionally funny (as was Gandalf and Saruman's fight). I'm just happy someone else thinks Aragorn was messed up, yay. (Nothing against Viggo, though. Viggo is flawless. It's the script I have issues with.)

As far as the movies are concerned, I actually really like The Hobbit a lot more that LotR. Strange, but there you go.

If you read the essay (and I encourage reading it - even if you disagree with him, he makes interesting points), he's likes Viggo as an actor, he just doesn't think he was right for the part of Aragorn.

Yeah, I think the Hobbit was decent for what it was. I also think part of it is that I like the Hobbit the book a lot less than LotR the book - I just don't care as much about it.

Viggo Mortensen is a smart guy who, imo, really gets Tolkien, and a lot better than Peter Jackson, too. I think he did a good job steering Aragorn away from the Hollywood action hero cliché they wrote him as and back to what he was like in the books. Generally, I get the impression that this Dolan fellow doesn't know how to differentiate between script and acting and blames the cast for things they have nothing whatsoever to do with. Imo, Peter Jackson owes a lot to a fantastic cast that makes up in many, many ways for a phenomenally weak script.

So yeah, I disagree. :D

Yeah, I like Viggo a lot personally, he seems like a really cool dude. Like I say, I don't think Dolan is right 100% of the time.
