Granted, although I've never really been a fan of Aragorn condoning a child going to war, especially when you've got superhero Éowyn trammeled in a hutch out back. <P>But I did often get the impression of movieAragorn as someone who had inadvertently stumbled into a biker bar and ordered a vodka martini. He was <B>so</B> relieved when Haldir and the girls turned up. I think he has some issues with his grubby manliness, despite trying to keep up appearances to the contrary (that snot-snorting sniffle on the way to Weathertop, for example). But I'm sure he'll be able to blend in seamlessly with the other lads at the Battle of Pelennor Fields. So long as Legolas holds his hand on the Paths of the Dead. <P>Where now are the Dúnedain, PJ, PJ?! Why does the movie script wander afar??
