I liked it, and it's also true!

There are some really wonderful, badass female role models out there for young people now.

Williams I agree! Granted I am only 37, but even when I was younger I don't remember so many kick ass girls. Sherah was my idol, personally, but she wasn't real.

I do love my strong female protagonists. Often my dream women too. Tolkien was genius but did not produce nearly enough half decent female characters in his most famous works.

I agree Czech he did not. In fiction as in fact, the stories told are primarily the stories of men.

Did you approve of Peter jackson's amendments in both trilogies? I found eowyn's 'i am no man' pretty cringeworthy. But arwen was a fine use of a character stuffed way back in appendices. Despite the scant screen time she outshone Legolas imho.

I understand what he was trying to do, but I thought he was basically beating us over the head yelling "look at how well I understand feminism! "

Just thought liv Tyler was quite good in the role and gelled very well with Viggo Mortensen.

Liv Tyler is just so beautiful I don't particularly care what's she's doing.

She stood around and cried. There's only so much even Meryl Streep could have done with that role :lol:
