Well, it becomes a problem to the extent of which character replaces which. Arwen's role, in fact her essential nature has been changed. How come Arwen can defy The Ringwraiths? where did she get that kind of power?. We know that Glorfindel could defy them, because of his history. In fact, its probably ONLY the fact that he has returned from the undying lands that gives him the power. Personally, as I've stated on numerous other threads, I think LotR is slowly unravelling on screen, mainly because the film makers, while they may love Tolkien's work, clearly have way too little insight into what Tolkien was actually doing.
