Haha! I'm with you there on Arwen! Glorfindel was one of my favorite characters in the book.

I also hated the way PJ made Frodo seem like a sissy who couldn't take two steps without Sam in some parts. The Weathertop scene is an excellent example. In the book, Frodo flings himself face forward, stabbing with his sword and crying out to Elbereth. In the movie, all he does is keel over backward and cry, not to mention he drops his sword. And I also hate that in every dangerous situation, just about every other line for him is "Oh Sam!" That is just so ANNOYING! I mean, get a spine man!
