Liv Tyler is gorgeous .. but so is Cate Blanchett .. very hard choice to make .. In the book I would choose Galadriel but in the movie Liv Tyler all the way .. even though sit in adoration of Blanchett. health and healing<i></i> |

Well I've gone for the Fair Maiden of Rohan. She moved me the most when I first read LOTR, and old habits die hard. Plus she kicked Angmar's Bony Ass. That's some going. "Some of the Scottish troops ran for five miles before they were killed. Others threw themselves into the sea. The number of dead is impossible to calculate, but there must have been several thousand. They included 5 Scottish Earls. The few prisoners who had been taken were put to death on Edward III's order, a final act of savagery for which there is no rational explanation. English casualties were light.

Galadriel is definitely the coolest female in LOTR, a talented and powerful elf. She has the distinction, at the time of the LOTR (the Third Age) of being the eldest elf woman in Middle Earth (Cirdan is probably the eldest elf), and the only surviving elf who saw the Two Trees when they were in flower in Aman, before they were destroyed by Morgoth. Plus,she has to have been one tough woman to have survived the journey from Aman to Middle Earth across the Grinding Ice, when many other elves died during the crossing. She lived in the kingdom of Thingol and Melian at the height of its power and learned a great deal of wisdom from Melian the Maia. Just imagine the memories she must have! (Galadriel in the movie, btw, was not at all how I pictured her - the movie character looks too young and girlish, and she is not as beautiful as I'd imagined Galadriel to be.) ~MsMary~ "Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?"<i></i> |

<b> I agree with you on all points M&M! She surely was old. Hard to understand why she wanted to brave the problems faced in coming to Middle Earth, but I'm sure that many were glad. I think she should have had a "dangerous" kind of beauty in the film, but I'm happy with who PJ picked (or whoever did the casting).</b> Arise now, Riders of Théoden!Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!Forth Eorlingas!<i></i> |

I was torn between Galadriel and Eowyn...I finally picked Eowyn because she kicks ass! Seriously, though...I know Galadriel is a tough cookie too, but she just seems too...I guess <i> ethereal</i> is the word I'm looking for. Remote. Eowyn seemed much more human...conflicted between her desire to fight Sauron's armies, and her responsibility to her people. Plus she killed the King of the Nazgul. Hard to beat that. ~Foamy~ <i></i> |

I don't know, King Theoden - the actress who played Galadriel in the movie was too flaky looking for my taste. She made me think of some flighty Celtic witch maiden, not the most powerful female elf in Middle Earth. ~MsMary~ "Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?"<i></i> |

Galadriel of course! The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. <i></i> |

flighty celtic witch maiden??? .. flaky?? Blanchett imo was the perfect choice - she looked like a powerful elven Queen - and she did have that ethereal quality about her .. Blanchett carried it off well .. but yeah she could have come across a flighty celtic witch maiden equally as well .. lol health and healing<i></i> |

hmm that wasn't quite how she came across to me - i actually liked Blanchett as Galadriel. still undecided about the radioactive scene though. anyway Galadriel was my pick. tough decision though, all the women in LOTR are strong and admirable in their own way. <i></i> |

My vote goes for Éowyn. She is a really believable and well-realized character that you really get to care about. And then there is that little thing with the Witch-king... Galadriel is a very nice character too and was my favorite female character when I was younger. Another favorite of mine is... Lobelia. She certainly has spirit, you have to give her that... <i></i> |
