I think the casting of Viggo as Aragorn was spot on. He's just as I had imagined him: grim, resolute, serious and with the weight of the world on his shoulders, as he knows he has to accomplish more than anyone has done before to get what he desires, and that he's very unlikely to succeed. The extended interplay between Arwen and Aragorn was also great to better understand his character and what drove him on, although they meddled with the background story a bit too much. Viggo's rugged good looks and sword fighting skills are also fitting I'd say.
Whether he's tall enough is a small concern to me.
