That's not all that far off.
Aragorn is one of the four main heroes of LOTR, the other three being, IMHO, Gandalf, Frodo and Sam.
The book made it obvious that Eowyn had a serious crush on Aragorn, although in a somewhat immature way.
Like you, I'm not crazy about the tampering with the canonical story to get the broads into the action more, since I think the heroics of Eowyn stand out better in isolation. But I think most of us recognize that PJ has accomplished something I would have have not believed possible.
BTW, I wonder what will happen when ROTK premieres and people realize that all the Bad Men have dark skins? If he stays true to The Book.

Not actually true; they are allies of Sauron, but as you recall from the Oliphaunt scene, Sam speculates whether they were forced to come and fight for Sauron. It's not clear at all that these people are evil.
Also, there are plenty of "whites" who are on the wrong side...Dunlendings fighting for Sauruman (although I hear no mention of them in TTT coming soon? Has Peter Jackson elminated them?)....the wraiths who Aragorn calls to fulfill their oaths...the "black" Numenoreans who go over to the service of Sauron, etc.
