Hmmm . . . let's see what I can pull up off the top of my head. *picks up hat and starts pulling out quotes*
"He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance." "Have you not heard what Elrond has said?" (paraphrased) "There is a shadow and a threat growing in my mind." "It is a lament for Gandalf. I have not the heart [to translate it.]" "And you have my bow!" "There is a fell voice in the air!" Well, there's . . . 6.

I'm male, and straight, so this has nothing to do with Orlando Bloom's appeal, OK?
BUT... Legolas was, I felt, the second best cast actor in the film (The best being Bilbo). The director of my theatre group knows Orlando Bloom and apparently he was paralysed from the waist up for three years (I think) until a day before the auditions. He must have been good to get in mustn't he! Shame there wasn't more, a lot of Legolas' stuff seemed to be stolen by Aragorn. Just part of the mass editting and re-allocating of lines in the script I guess, (amateurish writers...). |

aragorn could have gotten more lines because he's a main character and legolas isn't

He also said, "Goblins!" (in the book, he really said, "Yrch!", I believe)

Certainly he deserves his own lines, and not those of another character.
I've just re-read Fellowship and it really is quite impressive what PJ has achieved. Firstly, a lot more of the lines in the film are from the book than you think. Secondly, a lot of them either happen in a completely different part of the book, and / or are said by a completely different character. Not sure why he's done that, but it's kind of fun reading a bit and working out where it came in the film |

Legolas, in my opinion was one of the best actors, and he definately deserved more lines than he got. The other good actor was Boromir, though Bilbo was done well, but I feel that Orlando really should have had a bigger part so he could show his full potential. I can't wait for the next film!

To paraphrase:

One thing that would be really depressing was if they took away his "You would be dead before your stroke fell" line in TTT!

However, he WAS a good actor. That doesn't mean he should get more lines though. |

Legolas looker pretty in the movie, and why Gimli accomplished more I can't say (both just hung out in the book), the other 6 characters and indeed all the other side characters were far more important to the plot. Of course if you haven't read the books-you don't know the plot.
