Then there is this:

No reforging takes place in The Two Towers. The sword is not even mentioned in the movie. Arwen DOES NOT bring the sword to him, and Aragorn goes through this movie without the sword in hand. Looks like Peter Jackson is leaving this be dealt with in Return of The King.


So it looks like the rumors of that one are false as well. About Arwen they said:

Arwen is never physically in the movie.


Which pretty much makes this whole thread a reaction to rumors. Ah, well... we are all so anxious to see it. can you blame us?

I don't see why she has to go rushing into battle to have Aragorn notice her - if they are truly in love.
I agree! How would you depict that in a movie where you must show, not tell?

I think the scene on the bridge in FotR did that perfectly. Having several flashbacks of Aragorn thinking about Arwen in TT and RotK would have been fine. Her - carrying off Frodo through the ford was completely unnecessary. If she is in battles - as is indicated in the magazine I mentioned - then that is unnecessary too.
