Gwaihir:<BR> You hit the nail on the head! Aragorn's character in the movie grieved me. I think that you described him perfectly as an opportunist. As I have expressed in another thread, PJ could have cut some of the silly battle scenes and used the time to develope Aragorn. I would love to have seen just 2 extra minutes in Bree of some interaction between Aragorn and the Hobbits, revealing a taste of his true character: humble, powerful, patient, confident.<P>I think we all need to take a good look at gwaihir's member number. Not that we are not all entitled to an opinion, and not that Gwaihir can't be wrong...but he probably knows his Tolkien pretty well!
