Argh! The only line of Legolas that I hated ARGH ARGH ARGH!! I was disappointed - nothing more. I'd give it a so-so one thumb up. But if you are really there to be wowed by the effects then two thumbs up - the effects are there in abundance and are top of the line.

Why did you hate that line? It was obvious that Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn had bonded to the point that they were teasing each other and being very open with their feelings. From the argument that Legolas and Aragorn had to Gimli calling Aragorn "lad" on several occasions, Jackson showed visually the connection these three had developed with each other.

I particularly loved that he kept the "counting game" in the story and even expanded it to precede the battle of Helm's Deep.

"That one counts as mine!", cries Gimli when Legolas shoots the Warg charging Gimli. Brilliant!

You hated it? - I liked it! - I liked the jokes the second time around... They are the jokes only friends can make with affection. I liked the levity. I may not have liked it if I didn't know they all held the story and each other in high esteem. If PJ made a joke of the story... we would all be furious. But they were affectionate jokes by all.

And Legolas's smile, well, let me tell you, if he smiles like that, he can say and get anything he wants ;~D

"The only line of Legolas that I hated"

I thought it was charming...and funny. Now the stair surfing thing....THAT was a bit much.
