It has been my experience that many of the people who have seen the movies, but haven't read the books, love it but for all the wrong reasons. "Arwen rocks because she is such a tough girl..." it makes me sick! Eyown is shoved into the background for whatever reason, and Aragorn has turned into a player...I understand that it was necessacary to edit some of the scenes (Tom and Goldberry for one), but why did they have to marr Tolkiens larger than life characters? I mean, is our society so jaded that classic liturature has no place in it?<BR>Couldn't thay have sold tickets to the Two Towers without Arwen's "Elvish Lingere" scene?
