I agree with BoromirsBeard (lol, erm, nice name, that ) about Viggo's voice being too high pitched to make for grand speeches. Also, kill me if you will, but I didn't think much for his speech in front of the Black Gate, I mean, that sort of speech wouldn't have convinced me to give it all. It was faintly cheesy. (Braveheart's Wallace remains for me the ultimate charismatic spokesman). <P>Despite that, I think Viggo was, well, Viggo, in all his talent and charm. I can't say he was Aragorn. He was too reluctant and too dependent on others to be BookAragorn, but he treated us with an exquisite performance throughout the movies (not just ROTK, where I feel he was given too little screen time, and I see I'm not the only one). I am looking forward to the Houses of Healing scene!
