I would strongly agree with you on Arwen does not belong at the Ford. The way she is describe in the book- first one and the third, she would rather be in the comforts of her own home and be a support and run things as a ruler or potentional ruler rather than wieling a sword and fighting, there are plenty of warriors to do that.<P>second thought: someone made the comment previously that needed to save the money by dropping smaller characters, thus saving money and giving the additional parts to "Arwen". I would agrue against that- it would have been better if they hired a no-name actress who would have not been able to ask for much and kept Glorifeld(forgive my spelling!) and it would have been fine and spent the same amount of money. <P>third: I will keep this brief, but I have a big issue about adding new characters when preexsisting characters would have sufficed! Example would be this Lurtz character. I will stop here.
