<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I salute Viggo yet again for another stunning performance. He looks looks like Aragorn, he acts like Aragorn. He appears noble, and has a sorrowful, regretful air about him. This is perfect. He also seems quite weary from the increasing burdens he must bear. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I agree. I think that though his character was not the <I>most</I> interestingly conflicted (Frodo and Gollum) he was close, and I also "salute Viggo". I tought he was better even than in FotR. I din't think he "looks like Aragorn" when I first saw his face, but by 10 minutes later, I was thinking they couldn't have made him look any closer. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Am I always the only one to disagree? Aragorn didn't convince me at all in this movie, I much prefered him in the first one. I didn't feel any power in him, any passion at all!He just felt tired, almost like wishing that he were somewhere else... <BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Wasn't he supposed to be wishing to be somewhere else? Arwen? Kingship? Just he had to put his wishes aside. I don't think that that was a bad thing... still, I think I get what you're talking about.
