I'll concede that Aragorn was more "modern and conflicted" in the movies... but there was self doubt in the book that was part of his character, even if it was expressed differently.
I don't get complaints with Haldir though... In his scenes at Lothlorien, his lines and attitude seem right out of the book. The only major deviation I can see is the plotline deviation that brought him to Helm's Deep. Is that what you two mean?
That's what I mean, yes.
In my case, it's that there's a difference between being noble, rather proud, and suspicous of outsiders...and just being a snoot.
Movie Haldir was a snoot.
Bringing elves to Helm's Deep wasn't in the books, but it didn't bother me as much as it maybe should. ;-)
