I always wondered why the included Arwen in the movies so much and made her the badass when that's Eowyn's whole thing. Arwen was originally going to be at Helm's Deep and kicking ass there before that got changed. Yeah she's not in the first movie, but still.

Tolkien's version is more badass and less potentially corny, really. And it's funny he's still called sexist when there's a lot of great female characters who are better than the males in his works.

in the first film i thought it was arwen who summoned the river spirits to drive away the nazgul (a change, the books had elrond do it as he wore the ring of air)
