I wonder why they decided to give a more stand out role for Arwen then if she isn't so stand out in the book. I understand they will probably have to cut the movie due to time. (Although lots of great movies like The Green Mile, Patriot, Dances with Wolves, Braveheart and so forth have been 3, 3+ Hours long.) But I can't see changing the story too much. I'm sure it wouldn't add too much time to have Glorfindel find the fellowship and help them to Rivendale. Those who have read the part of his already say he has a bit part, so its not that big of a deal for him to introduce them to Rivendale and let Legolas take over from there. But oh well. Its too late now. that part was probably already filmed. :-) Maybe Arwen will be a good change. (As I have not gotten to any part about her yet so I can't say fairly that its not a good decision.)I just hope they have some of the scenes that I have read in the movie. I really like the longer ring conversation between Frodo and Gandalf, And when Pippen, Frodo and Sam are walking the forests and find elves. I like that part. And so far I'm enjoying the Tom Bombadil part as well. (Thats as far as I am though.) All those scenes were cut out of the animation, and so far they're some of my favorites!! Drea
