When I first heard Viggo was going to play Aragorn, I thought it a good choice visually speaking; I could see him taking on the gruff, scraggly Strider character without much difficultly, but I wondered whether or not he could pull off reminding us of the tall and stately, grey-eyed sea-kings of old.<BR>IMHO I found the only time he gave a presence of royalty was when he was lying dead in TTT EE. I have to agree with Essex in saying he seemed not to be regarded with enough reverence--too much an action hero. I suppose had PJ added the Houses of Healing(Kingsfoil!)and Aragorn taking his birth-rite of the Palantir and the banner woven by Arwen, I might have enjoyed Aragorn more. Viggo did an admirable job with what he was given.
