I think that there were simply to many characters to develop in a movie. So many things needed to be explained that the characters had to do without. I totally agree that most of the characters were lacking, except Arwen. It's true that she needed to be introduced before the end but she was simply in the movie to much. I, for one, could have lived if the scene in TTT where Aragon has a dream about him and Arwen was excluded. That was unnessicary. Don't get me started on the Ents! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
