Oh yes! The movie made me think "more" about several of the characters. Before the movie, Arwen was just the sewing elf woman, left waiting.....Saruman and Boromir were just bad guys....and King Theoden was the "old" king (instead of the hottie I now visulize
) The depictions of Gimli, Legolas and Denethor were subtractions from my thoughts though. And, some of the best characters were, of course, missing!
(Bombadil, Goldberry, Squinty Eyed Southerner, Imrahil, Sharkey....) I can't decide about the Nazgul...better, or worse?
