I also didn't mind that Arwen rode with Frodo instead of Glorfindel. I thought PJ was clever in the way he introduced her to the story. I also think that the elves at Helms Deep was a nice touch. It added excitement to the movie at a crucial moment. In the film, the batle would have resembled too many others.

I'm sort of on the fence about the elves at Helm's Deep. One one side I love the scene when Haldir walks up, Theoden is stunned, and Haldir says "A great alliance once existed between elves and men, we come to honor that allegiance." On the other hand, I think it takes away from the strength of men. The Third age was the time when Men began to grow, and the other elder races begin to fade. I think if it wasn't for the Huorns (and I love how PJ included them in the EE), Helm's Deep would have fallen, but I think the Elves take away the strength of men.
Theoden had 1,000 men (including Eomer's squad), and Gamling had 1,000 men. I guess with the scenario set up of having Eomer gone, and having him come to return to save the day (which I think was a nice change), only the 1,000 from Rohan was represented. And the Elves compensate for Eomer's men. Then Eomer brings 2,000 which makes up Erkenbrand's men. |

and to add to this, Cate Blanchet should have said the 'Penultimate Alliance', not the 'Last Alliance' in the Prologue of LOTR

Well I didn`t mind the hobbits age one bit. Forgive me, but I actually thought it better.
Arwen coming to save the hobbits instead of Glorfindel didn`t bother me much either. I also liked when Faramir took the ring to Osgiliath. Not in the book, but I liked it. Something I didn`t like a whole lot was Faramir`s attitude toward Frodo and Sam at first. I liked the kind Faramir better, though they straightened it out later.
