I think that Cate Blanchet impersonates Galadriel superbly, and her voice in the opening narration is just perfect. Neither did I think that the visual effects in the scene where she is tempted by the ring, are overdone.But they shouldn`t have altered her voice so much there,IMO. <BR>What I missed most in Lothlorien are the scenes where Galadriel, by her kindness and understanding, overcomes Gimlis dislike for elves, and he and Legolas become friends, and the scene where Gimli asks for a strand of Galadriels hair as a parting gift. I feel sorry that Gimli is portrayed much less sympathetic in the film than in the book. Does anyone share my opinion?
