Meela has just left Hobbiton.

I think Arwen should have been included.<BR>It was necessary to play up to the audience and introduce a little romance in order to refrain from it being an all-boys action battle film. It makes a better experience all round if it includes every genre.<BR>The shieldmaiden thing I do not approve of. Arwen is a great character who's role could easily be expanded, but only in the right way, ie. as a romance side story. To make her a warrior is not right, and even further from the books. Liv Tyler said herself that she didn't like the way Arwen was turning out at first, apparently. I'm not entirely certain how that was, but my head is telling me it was too warrior-like, and Liv agreed that Arwen should be less warrior-like. I don't know. I'll leave it...
