I am going to put in my(usualy unwanted) view on the subject I believe that Orli Did well at the part(dont get me wrong I am a huge orlifan) but I think he could have done better. He had a small role, and he did really well with the whole facial thing but nto well with the lines. Most of his lines were pretty bad any ways. "a red sun rises blood has been spilled this night" I mean give me a break! Also leggy didnt have a real personality. HE had one in the book but they took it out in the movie (dumb PJ)

sorry..but I'm not agree with you. In Tolkien trilogy Legolas has a smaller part than in the PJ movies. And don't forget two thinks: Elves are very still, noble, a little bit cold race; besides the lines were written by PJ's wife Fran and "uncle" (it's a joke!) Philippa..... I liked Orli in Legolas's character plus remembering those movies were his very very first BIG experiences on the kolossal screen.

I don't think that Orlando did a good job as Legolas at all. Maybe it was just the script, or PJ's directing, or.....maybe it wuz just his acting. Legolas was by far the worst character in the movie. He was probably more of a comic relief than Gimli. Too bad he wasn't supposed to be funny. Now that i offended all of the orlando fans i would like to add that i don't think that Orlando's a horrible actor. I thought he did a pretty good job in PotK. Not to mention how gorgeous he looked iin it .

Oops! i forgot to answer the question. Someone mentioned Heath Ledger and I think that would've been interesting. He definaltely would've been less prissy than Orlando's Legolas was. I think Hayden could've worked as well. They both would've been better than Orlando.
But i guess if he hadn't done LotR he wouldn't have done PotK, and we might've never would've heard of Orlando Bloom (i am kind of a fan of his). Maybe i need to rethink this lol.

I believe no one could have replaced Orlando Bloom as Legolas... many people think he was terrible as Legolas and was a prissy elf but I completely disagree. He was perfect for the part, he had the look and grace of an elf, and when I read the book he fit perfectly into the discriptions. Then again this is all my opinion so....

He's too... well, I'm not even sure, but there's something about him that makes me say that he just wouldn't be a good elf. I can't quite put my finger on it though.

I agree Brad wouldnt have made a good Leggy. He has more of a body builder look then an elvish look(if that makes sence) lol
