I think the reluctancy that we see in the movie (which is definately not in the books) is for a "better" movie story. It allower Peter to incorporate Arwen more into the plot and give more depth to the Aragorn character that common movie goers want. ( I myself could have done without so much Arwen in the movie but that's a whole other thread to start). His reluctancy was a side plot that gave the story more than just the quest to destroy the ring. Again, I think Peter did this to make it into a movie story and not a book story. As far as translating the book to the movie I think he did great and that's why Aragorn seems reluctant in the movie but not so in the books.
