Arwen

I think the movie is as good as it could be. Giving Arwen a larger part to build the love story between her and Aragorn was the right thing to do, because the affair is quite important to Tolkien’s mythology, and to the movie. We couldn’t just have the King of Mankind merry some strange elf we didn’t know anything about, so she must be introduced properly. Not that she is introduced any better in the books, but those who have read the Silmarillion would know the importance and background of her marrying Aragorn. But if she gets an even bigger part in The two Towers, that would be pushing it a bit far. About this Lurtz character, I think we should wait to see his part before judging anyone. If he has a whole new revolutionary part it would be tragic, but I don’t think he will. We will just have to wait and see.
