He really does suddenly become Elessar, not only because of the armour but his entire demeanor.
Definitely. I remember it being startling by just how regal his whole bearing became at that point in the movie. Aragorn is truly the embodiment of the kind of reluctant leader that makes the best of leaders. And Viggo does a perfect job of capturing him.
*happy sigh* I really need to go re-watch ROTK now. ^^

Yep, for all that the movies way overplayed the reluctant bit, Viggo still nailed the role so well that despite those deviations from canon, he still became wholly and completely Aragorn.

Oh you should, you should! *g* I actually just finished watching it a couple days ago (I watch movies and tv shows on dvd while I'm on the treadmill... LOTR is great for getting you motivated to RUN!!)
