These things have been discussed before - thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily do so in a movie. Just picture Aragorn drawing a broken sword to defend Frodo & the ring in the movie (the 'Pranching Pony' scene)! Not working - woulda looked downright silly. And the narrative doesn't work the same either - & the tempo.<P>Oh, & btw., I think the Aragorn character in the movie is actually more interesting than the book one...
