ElanorGamgee has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

The only parts of the movie that I didn't like happened to have the only major female characters so far, Arwen and Galadriel, in them. I really can't stand how Arwen sticks her sword up to Aragorn's throat, then steals Frodo, Glorfindel, Gandalf, and Elrond's parts by rescuing Frodo all by herself and calling up the river to sweep away the Nazgûl. Galadriel, I think, is too cold and distant and really not even that pretty. I'm not trying to be very critical, but Galadriel <I>is</I> supposed to be one of the most beautiful beings in Middle-earth. And the way she speaks to Frodo at the Mirror is just plain creepy and emotionless at first and then frightening when she turns green. One would almost think she was an evil character. I really hope that Éowyn is portrayed well in the next movie compared to the other female roles.
