Arwen was justified with being in the second film in principle [due to the Tale of Aragorjn and Arwen mentioneing her 'watching over Aragorn in thought'i.e. using Osanwe], but in practice it was 2nd rate. her acting was tolerable, but I am sorry folks, Liv is the weakest casting link in the flick. In all fairness, i ahve tried to think of someone better and could not, but if i were in PJ's place and could not have found anyone better, i most certainly would not have moved her front and center!<P>She is just to earthy for my taste of Elven women. Cate B. pulls it off [ especially in the extended DVD, but she is 10x the actress liv is] and sensual, and I hate to say it but just not beautiful enough. <P>On the really off chance Liv see's this, I do apologize, I am speaking of her [you ] in this role only, she just does not possibly make it as one of the 2 most beautiful women in the world at that time.<P>So the less of her seen the better in my book.
