Aragorn and Arwen
Ithil

I think Viggo Mortenson was totally perfect for Aragorn. I think that he should get more credit than what he's been getting. He deserves it. He has that look and his expressions are just what I had imagined when I read the books.
On the other hand, I don't think Liv Tyler was a good choice for Arwen. First, her name does it no justice and makes it seem as though she was just put in because she's already a "star". She just doesn't carry it off and doesn't have that mythical look like Cate Blanchett carries off.I know they could have cast someone ten times better(maybe someone who doesn't have horse lips??) They gave Arwen too big a part also. She wasn't even mentioned in The Two Towers, but in the movie she had like 10-15 minutes, I know that's not much but if they take all that junk out they could actually focus more on fighting and get a lot more out of those 10 minutes. Any one agree???
