i saw the movie before i read the books. Since then, i've finished LOTR, and i agree that they way they portrayed her made her seem a lot more menacing than she really is. I love the way Tolkien describes that scene in Fellowship. Especially how he described Galadriel..."beautiful beyond enduring...terrible and worshipful." In the movie, it was a tad overdone. It sorta looked like a cartoon in that scene! haha...but the movie is excellent, hands down, and i enjoyed every minute.
