arwen had a better part in the first movie (riding across the river given chase
by the dark riders). this movie, they could have done w/o all that mushy stuff.
gawd, no place for wasting
so much screen time on *that* when there be battles to be fought, arrr.
however, i must concur with chris that eowyn's character was masterfully acted
and a whole lot easier on the eyes
than arwen :) heck, if you want to kill some time, head over to IMDB.com and
read the (multiple) threads on "arwen vs eowyn (vs galadriel), who's prettier"
