The Eowyn Thread

[Black Breathalizer]

Last year, I read a whole bunch of "hand-wringing" posts about how Jackson was soon going to be trashing Eowyn's character in TTT. Well, now that TTT is out, I think it's clear that Eowyn's portrayal was nothing short of brilliant.

Just like the books, Jackson was able to communicate Eowyn's growing attraction to Aragorn without turning it into the "love triangle" garbage that some of you fangirls and fanboys were complaining about last fall.

Miranda Otto, the actress who played Eowyn, was wonderful too. Next to Gollum, she probably had the most memorable moments in the film.

I'd be really interested to see if any of you who had concerns or doubts about Eowyn's portrayal last fall would now agree that -- at least in this area -- Peter Jackson nailed it.
