WOW! This topic has gotten huge. Apparently this is a very strong topic that many fans had been wanting to address, but were not sure how to so a positive way. Good job you all! <P>I would like to say one more thing, if you all would not mind.<P>I would just like to state for the record that I <B>do</B> agree that Arwen should not have been put into Helms Deep. I personally love P.J. as a director, but I believe that making that change would be taking almost too much of a creative liscense with Tolkien's wonderful books. In a way, that would be changing the Middle Earth history books, and perhaps would have made even greater effecting changes later on in the story. <P>I loved, though, how P.J. and the writers found a way to put Arwen into the movies without fully changing her personality. Arwen still contained as much mystery for me in the movies as she does in the books. That, I believe was a great acomplishment of P.J., and I congratulate him on that. <P>Keep this thread going you all. It is very interesting and informative to read.
