I did not really care for Viggo’s portrayal. But what really disturbed me was the script. The whole “Aragorn doesn’t want to be king, Aragorn isn’t sure he wants to marry Arwen” thing was totally wrong. Jackson made nice movies — but his concept of Aragorn was 100% wrong.

That was one of my major beefs with Jackson’s interpretation as well.

If you can’t tell another person’s story without changing the motivations or personalities of the main characters, altering essential plot points, or changing the message of the story, you have no business “dedicating” that author’s work in a film, IMO.
