Ah! Book VS Movie.

Hmm... Well Tolkien was very very very descriptive in the book, something that is much better interpreted through movies. So much description that I got bored at times! Watching the movie, you could just observe it... I wasn't bored for a SECOND with the movie.

I know that they changed a lot of things, but I believe that the change of Arwen's character was a pretty good one. After all, when I was reading the books, they only had about one or two mentions of Arwen until you find out her and Aragorn get married. I didn't know who the HECK she was! To include her more was a pretty good thing...

Over all-- The movies ruled, the bookes ruled, it all ruled.
