Legolas??? - Page 2

FrodoFriend · 01-31-2002, 09:30 PM

Nah, Legolas isn't that great. He isn't even particularly interesting except when he's with Gimli. It's their friendship that's cool. But that goes for many of the LotR characters.

Liviaine · 01-31-2002, 09:41 PM

They could have gone deeper into Legolas and Gimli's friendship in the first movie, but that is supposed to be part of the second movie. I agree that Legolas was well cast but could have used more lines.

samwise of the shire · 01-31-2002, 10:47 PM

The look he gives Aragorn when he says, "There is evil here. I feel it approaching"or what ever he said was enough to make me almost fall out of my chair gasping for breath. He is one heck of a good loking actor and that's for sure.

legolas was very very well cast..
i read that he actually tried out for faramir..
that woul dhave been interesting
i re-read fellowship just before i saw the movie.. PJ did accomplish a momumental thing.. and i hope to see more on the Dvd

LuthienTinuviel · 01-31-2002, 11:16 PM

oh yea, and i like his lines ( i think there's a whopping two!)
when hes saying
"a lament for gandalf"
in lorien

FrodoFriend · 01-31-2002, 11:25 PM

I like his fighting. He is a cool warrior, but I wasn't really impressed with him any other way. Sorry.

luinilwen · 02-01-2002, 01:07 AM

did you notice that most of his lines are derived from observations? (fell voice, goblins, birds from dunland, etc.) he probably just spent more time watching and listening then gabbing on about wanting more lines... ahem.

his bowmanship was brilliant to watch, though.

and yeah orlando bloom is a babe...

Gerbil · 02-01-2002, 01:11 AM

What annoyed me about LEgolas is his famed eyesight.
Didn't really help with the bloody bird spies after Rivendell.
Everyone sits there chatting about the 'cloud' (when really they should have sussed it immediately) and then Legolas finally goes 'OK chaps, really perhaps we should consider it not a good thing. Covering oneself might be thought as a wise precaution'.
Or something to that effect.

He should have spotted it before he left Rivendell and they could have just hidden in a building somewhere.

The_Real_Legolas · 02-01-2002, 05:06 PM

Mr.J made Gimli be funny,and like I said before Legolas got barely any lines

LuthienTinuviel · 02-01-2002, 07:15 PM

youve all read the books.. you know that he talks more later on..
i can't even really remember him talking as much as say.. the hobbits in the first book anyways

The 'cloud' is in the story you know. They were on the edge of Hollin many miles away from Rivendell and there's no way in Utumno Legolas could have spotted them from Rivendell. In the books it's Aragorn and Sam who witness it -- on lookout -- and Aragorn's the one who realizes it's bad news. I believe the others were asleep, I'm not sure.

Gerbil · 02-01-2002, 10:27 PM

Um, I was being sarcastic - my point was with everyone looking he should have been the first to even spot it, let alone recognise it was a risk. In the film he's the last to say anything as they all stare - the others have already pretty much worked out it's bad news.

My point was really 'so much for the fabled good eyesight of the Elves'.

FrodoFriend · 02-02-2002, 01:44 AM

I thought he was the first to spot it in the movie (the first of the Fellowship - by the time the entire audience had already figured it out, of course).

The_Real_Legolas · 02-02-2002, 09:53 AM

actually Gimli had the least part in the movie!!!!!! and that is what forum we are at!!!!!!!!!!and we do owe him more lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The_Real_Legolas · 02-02-2002, 09:57 AM

Alandiel · 02-03-2002, 12:26 AM
