Since I have nothing better to do, I'll start off by saying I hated the whole part, it was a terrible adaptation and I found myself looking at my watch.
The parts in Fellowship I thought were pretty good (not including The Fight to the Ford) but PJ went overboard on TT.
The scenes in Fellowship or Aragorn and Arwen talking in Rivendell was a nice addition, a plus to anyone who has read the appendix. It showed their love, and Arwen's faith in Aragorn.
But in TT it wasted so much valuble time that PJ could have used to show more of the Ents, or Frodo and Sam entering Mordor, a number of things were sacrificed for something I felt they covered very nicely in the first film.
Their love is important to Aragorn's character, but not to the main story. Like I said about the first movie the parts built up Aragorn's character (and he needed it!!) and let you know alittle about Arwen. TT was rewrite overkill.
I really liked the thought and consideration Pj put into Arwen's role. Liv Taylor was the bomb! She is hot too! I think that they could have gone a little more off the book on her part. I think that they played it too safe and did not want to mess up. They should have thought about that aspect on Faramir's role. Oh well! Good topic to discuss
I personally thought that Liv Tyler played Arwen very well. Most of the extended scenes of Arwen appear in the Appendix A (5) of the book. The only part I didn't like was when she revived Aragorn after his fall. That whole scene should have been ommitted in the first place. Otherwise I felt she was one of the better actrors in the film. I really believed her as an elf. She looked like one too.
I thought it was alright, but it could have been much better. Some of the scenes just weren't neccessary and were even confusing to some people who had never read the books. My friends were very confused about where she was going and why...etc.. when she left Rivendell.
I think that some of the scenes could of been explained better in FOTR, but in TTT it just seems to me like they just completely made up stuff to explain other fake stuff at times... (like the whole aragorn falling off a cliff)
ok first of all let me say that arwen sucks. they just made her have a big role so that the guys who are sitting there watching the movie can be like "wow she's so hott". that and they probly wanted to have the women in the movie (since there are only 3) have bigger parts, but it's just stupid.
the thing in FOTR was kool. especially coz me and my friend were like high (i swear there was something in that water) when we watched FOTR. and coz she don't even kno wot LOTR is we were making fun of it. basically we were putting all of our own dilog in and everyone wanted to hump each other. like whenever arwen was riding from the ringwraiths and they were all on horses we were like "let's have a horse humping party" then when ..yah i think u get it. but she just didn't need to be in TTT at all. Eowyn ROCKS though!!!
i have to say i really liked arwen's part. they couldn't just leave her out. she has to marry him in ROTK!!! i thought liv did such a beautiful job with the character!
