Someone who has seen the movie. "If you want him, come and claim him!" Urgh.

Arwen is fine in the book, her character just isn't developed much. Unlike many people here, I had no problem with her in the movie. I thought her looks (although a little young) were fine and although it was annoying that they changed so many things in the movie, it didn't affect my enjoyment of it. I took it for what it was -- a way to develop her character to highlight the romance between her and Aragorn.
It may not be the way I would have done it, but I didn't mind too much the way it was done. Eowyn -- remains to be seen. |

It's the principal(with the movie). All the elves were downright mean. Elrond, Haldir(he was supposed to be mean I guess), Galadriel never got to be nice with the gifts, Arwen was "tough", and it shouldn't be like that. It annoys me to no end

I agree with you, azalea. I liked Eowyn in the trailer, too.

I am confused now
I have seen the trailer and i dont think that Eowyn looks right...i may change my judgement on her after i have seen the second movie. However that doesn't help me like Arwen any better. I prefer elves to humans (or men) but Arwen just annoys me, like Eowyn does to Radagast the brown. She was ok in the book, but very under developed. I think that i dont like her because she is going to be involved too much in the next too films and ruining the story line.

But then they butchered ALL of the elves. She was the least uheredof them all in the movie(that's not saying much though). It's just that I know people who are much more elvish than the ones in the movie.

Hands down , my favorite has to be Eowyn. I think she is a much stronger character then Arwen.
I hope the movie stays true to Eowyn's role in the next film, or at least a little close to it. |

Eowyn isn't just my favourite of the two, she's probably my favourite character in the entire book. Like Frodo in a sense, she has an air of idealistic adventure about her that leads her to discover the harsh realities of the struggle against evil, and in the end pacifies her and leads her to discover inner peace. And in the process, she learns so much about herself. It's a perhaps understated, certainly underrated heroine's journey that she goes through.
The next film, if the trailer and other news we have heard are any indication, is going to take Eowyn's "offstage" relations with Aragorn and Grima and put them onstage. And I love it.

I agree. If there are moments when PJ needs to expand on to what the Prof. wrote, I think this is one of them. Role expansion is one thing, chanign what was explicitly written from the source is another.

I'd forsake either of them in a second, for a good cup of coffee.
