Does anyone else feel like Legolas never said anything... I dunno... really meaningful in the movies? I mean, I can recount a good load of "Captain Obvious" moments in Legolas' lines, but he never says anything, and when he does it's "a diversion" or "Goblins" or "crebain from Dunland!" I dunno. I may be just blind to something he does say, with the exception of the "You owe him your allegiance" bit. Feel free to *calmly* debate amongst thyselves. ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)

Yeah. Legolas doesn't talk a lot. I wish he said more. In the books there was so much more to his character.

Ya, I also wish we could hear him siiiiiiiing! I mean, Tolkien frequently describes his beautiful, elvish voice in the books, but we never get to hear it!

To be honest, I don't really remember Legolas saying a lot in the books either. His behaviour is described several times, but there are just a few moments where he actually says something ![Tongue :p](./images/smilies/tongue.gif) He does sing several times, but I think including all the songs would have made the movies even longer and therefore not suited for a big audience. But I agree with you, the things Legolas says in the movies are usually a bit obvious. He does get a bit more in-depth comments in the EE version though, but they are still rare ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)

Well he does say some stuff but I agree that not a lot of it is actually important.

I really enjoy when Legolas explains the background story of the dead army that him, Gimli, & Aragorn are going to meet & recruit.Plus it is extremely important for all LOTR newcomers getting a 1st encounter with Tolkien thru Peter Jackson's movies.

Golumn has a good point. That explination was good.
Other than that, however, no.... He doesn't seem to say much of significants.
I always enjoyed his back and forth banter with Gimli but that is just side filler and such, not significant to the plot.

The one I can think of is when he is telling Gimli about the paths of the dead. I will have to think about if there are others.

Yeah. That is the most significant and neat thing I can think of from him.

Lack of Legolas dialogue, if nothing else, makes it really special when he does say something. Even if it's just stating the obvious I think he just doesn't waste words in the movies. In the books, he just kind of sang a lot of songs and talked about the legends of his people a lot. Any conversation he has with Gimli is really nice, though. Like when they are walking through Mina's Tirith in the beginning of last debate.

While PJ (not again! ) overdid it with the Leggy action scenes, at least he visually makes a point that JRRT once made, I think in a letter (@Elthir? HELP!), that Legolas was by far the most dangerous warrior of the fellowship, with his Elvish sight, reflexes, stamina, speed, agility and possibly also strength, that no one - including Boromir and even Aragorn (Gandalf is on an entirely different level) could have stood up to him in direct confrontation. Poor comparison, in some ways, but a 50 kilogram chimpanzee would (and has) mopped the floor with wrestlers up to the weight of 200 kilograms - with the chimpanzee having a mouth guard, otherwise it would have bitten the wrestler to death. They are, pound-for-pond, five times as powerful as we are (gorillas are estimated at seven times - and the big silver-backs weigh 500 pounds - nah, forget it ...), and they have four powerful hands ...

En mi humilde opinión, no todos los casinos en línea son excelentes. Le recomiendo encarecidamente que visite el casino en línea mr bet para disfrutar de la mejor experiencia de juego. Puede que no me creas, así que en este caso puedes leer críticas https://mrbetcasinos.mx/ reales.
