I really wanted to cry because Ben Affleck’s character survived…
^ I really want to cry because some power in Hollywood wants everyone to think that Liv Tyler is good looking.
^You bite your tongue about Liv Tyler.
Well, she is good looking. Just not a particularly great actress. Basically, the most unconvincing character in LOTR.
The female casting in LOTR was horrible. Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, please.
I think that was Peter Jackson’s fault more so than Liv Tyler’s. He really changed Arwen’s character from the book. She wasn’t supposed to be featured that much.
I thought Cate Blanchett was a fine choice.
Nah, I think Liv Tyler just had a hard time playing that character. Her approach to being an elf was just to slur every word. Cate Blanchett was pretty good, in my opinion. This sort of character has to toe the line between sexy and intimidating - kind of like Tilda Swinton in Narnia - “am I afraid of this witch or do I want to bang her? Hmmm…”
Galadriel is supposed to be the most beautiful among the elves, Cate Blanchett hardly fits that bill. I understand the role calls for someone with naturally pale skin, and she does have that, but they could have done better.

think in the movie they went for the surreal factor. cate gave that in spades.
