Why bother answer when you can link, I think this does answer your last question rather well.http://www.barrowdowns.com/faq_glorfindel.php. As for your first question, I don't mind the deletion probably because I have a liking for Liv Tyler

Although I missed seeing Glorifindel, I felt that it was a smart move on PJ's part. It's death on film to introduce cool characters and then never develop them. Besides, I didn't feel as if that seen changed Arwen's character as much as focused on it more.
It didn't really make a warrior as much as a fast rider. After all, she didn't fight in that seen, she just brought out the sword to lure the Nazgul into the river.

Your probably right, i just think he was a really interesting character to leave out, and it wouldn't have been a "bad move" to include him - its not quite like the Bombadil sequence, which, fantastic as it is, may appear like somewhere the Hobbits go after too much "leaf".

I don't like the decision because Glorfindel has a key role in the counsel of Elrond and it really erks me to see that PJ just butchered the whole Glorfindel thing.

I agree with the move just because for theatrical purposes it made Arwen's story deeper, but at the same time I do not like the decision because it disappoints the Glorfindel fans out there...there are a ton of minor characters that PJ neglects to put in (Imrahil, Elladan, Elrohir, Beregond), and if I had it my way they would all be included...who cares if people get lost and the characters play small roles. Read the books! It's a shame Hollywood doesn't work that way

Well, I was absolutely disgusted with how much screen time Arwen got. Five minutes entire trilogy would have been preferable(though ten would have been better...)
I liked Glorfindel a great deal in the books, and I think sending a girl out against nine black riders is silly. I don't think I would have minded quite so much if they had sent out someone like Elladen or Elrohir, seeing that they are in the book more that Glorfindel. The pumped up romance between Aragorn and Arwen was so... annoying, silly, stupid, and didn't belong.
