I know what happens to Legolas in the books- it's in the appendices that he goes into the West- but I am greatly annoyed that Peter Jackson just kind of left Legolas on a loose end at the end of the Return of the King film! The last you see of him is him indicating that Arwen is standing behind him, and he doesn't get any finishing part!
Since there are many LOTR film fans who have not read the books, I thought it was rather unfair for PJ to just leave Legolas like that. He couldn't have made any slight changes and had Legolas go onto the boat with Galadriel, Celeborn and Elrond? Yes, it would have been different from the books, but he changed enough from the books for that not to be noticed!
*grumbles* Did I miss something- is there something about Legolas in the extended versions that I haven't seen yet? Or am I right in thinking that PJ got lazy??

Apparently they filmed scenes with what happened to him and Gimli, but they didn't put them in because they thought that there would be too many endings. I say that they already had so many endings what difference would one more make? lol.
Even if it wasn't in the regular movie they should have put it in the extended edition. They didn't do that because if they put it too many extra scenes than they would just start to weaken the movie.
But I would think that anyone who bought the extended edition wouldn't mind seeing it so I don't get it.

Okay do you know where I can find pictures from Legolas' extended ending? A video clip or just screenshots? I can't find them on search engines...

doesnt Legolas stay for a while longer then both Gimli and him build a boat and sail into the West? I know that Gimli is only allowed to go because he has the favour of the Lady... xTx  |

Legolas goes on travels with Gimli as promised and then he settles down in Ithillien for a while before eventually building a ship and sails to the Undying Lands with Gimli. And I'd really like to see the ending they filmed with Legolas and Gimli too!! Does anyone know more about it?  |

they had a quick shot from what happened to Gimli and Legolas in "From book to Script" on one of the 2 extra DVDs but that doesn't cut it, all you see is legolas spinning around in the woods and gimli staring affixedly
They should of add that in somewhere, I want to see the full extent of it, even if it is unedited!

Maybe we should 'sign' a petition and demand that Peter Jackson release those scenes! lol ;D I know I'm a bit spontaneous!  |
