At first, I kind of liked Arwen's role and increased appearances in Fellowship. But after reading the books a couple more times since my initial viewing, my opinion changed. I agree that the changes did not affect the film, but it's better, of course, as Tolkien intended it to be. I like Arwen in FotR much better than in TTT. That whole dream thing was so very un-Tolkienesque. So I guess you could say that I have very mixed feelings about it. <P>If I had to make the decision about the Flight to the Ford scene, I think I probably would have left Glorfindel out. I like the increased time given to Arwen for the sake of making the movie, if you get my drift, but I don't like the change in her role and character.
