Both of these women are incredibly beautiful, which is how Tolkien describes these two women in the books. I am not saying the choices of Blanchette and Tyler are ugly, I just do not see them as the drop-dead gorgeous types that are described by Tolkien. Of the two, I felt Tyler was the better choice

My understanding is that Claire Forlani was considered for the role of Arwen. She looks quite elvish already:
However, I must say that I did enjoy Liv Tyler as Arwen. Her sultry voice (in that film, at least) and mannerisms enhanced her beauty. I can't see her in any film now without thinking of Arwen.
