Personally I love the scenes with Arwen and Aragorn. True, they were not a part of the book but their love was. There was no real way to show their past in the movies or really how much they loved each other, so PJ fit it in in the form of flashbacks and dreams. I think it was well done.<P>The part with Legolas mounting up on that horse was indeed interesting to watch. I think with all the time and effort they put into the movie, they could have smoothed that out a bit more.<P>My least favorite thing would probably be the fact that Legolas did not ride elfstyle. The first thing he did when he was given Arod was remove saddle and bridle. They had Gandalf riding elflike on Shadowfax...why not do the same with Legolas? I saw that as easily overlooked.<P>As far as they all go though, I think they were masterfully done, with a few minor overlooks...but that's always expected in films. No one is perfect
