    No, the worst CG effect in TTT is when Merry n pippen are picked up by the Ent.

    Worst CG ever is Dungeons n Dragons.

    Agreed, the shot with legolas is memorable because of everything else in that shot, that is what makes it a good shot. The shot of merry and pippin was a bit more iffy, it could have had a few more render passes made at it.

    Just my $2.17 inc inflation

    Legolas is kinda an overrated character. All he does is stand there and move his eyes from side to side with a look of concentration on his face. Wow :p

    yes Dungeons and Dragons did have BAD CG work.

    I never did actually notice any probs with the merry and pippin scene as I was concentrating on the story itself at the time to notice. Can someone explain to me what happened.

    The cg was just a bit old school, IMO.
    IIRC, Merry and Pippin seemed a bit brighter than their surroundings.

    And once again I find myself agreeing with Stinky (I really got stop making ahabit out of this :D). Legolas is too overrated for my likings. I was kinda hoping for a little more Legolas/Gimli interaction in TTT - sure there was more than Fellowship, but in the end Gimli got some great one-liners and Legolas just set-up for the rest.

    "Dwarves are deadly over short distances!" :D

    I like Legolas! But then Ive always thouyght archers were cool. Probably because I cant do it myself ;)

    And I have to admit, while the comedy relief Gimli annoyed me, the line "Should I describe it to you, or go and find you a box?" cracked me up :)

    stinky and syrix are correct, the elven archer doesn't do much, out of 2 movies, he's looked into the distance, shot an arrow along distance, and slid down some stairs on a sheild. And that jump onto the horse by legolas, was worst than any CG in D&D

    Well, I dig Legolas. The scene in FOTR where he picks off 6 Orcs in about 6 seconds is AWESOME! And he does quite a bit in TTT!

    You forgot to mention Legolas using his daggers to take out Uruk-Hai. Legolas is more of a silent Assassin. Legolas wasn't that bad, come on. He's more Active than Jabba who all Jabba does is lay there or complain about nothing going his way. Gimli was great in the films. He's one of my fav characters (and maybe cause the actor was in 2 of the Indy films and might be in #4)
    Anyway, I though you all might complain about Grima Wormtongue or Sauraman, They did less than Legolas.

    No, because they are nowhere near as overrated as Legolas

    Don't get me wrongo here folks. I dig Legolas. Everything has *has* done has been good - he just hasn't really done as much as I was expecting. (Here's hoping he and Gimli will have a bit more conversation time at Helms Deep in the TTT Extended Edition).

    88, are you talking about the bit where Legolas grabs onto the reigns of the horse and back flips onto it in slow-mo? Cos from what I remember that looked pretty good.

    I want to see this movie again. I still feel sort of disappointed by it, so I want to watch it another time to see if it was me being tired.

    I spent the longest time puzzeling out that shot of Legolas getting on the horse.

    He swings to our right before swinging around in front of the horse and landing behind the rider (Gimli?).

    I cannot think of any reason why he would do so (other than it looks darn cool). It's possible that it could be done. Perhaps he rebounded off the horses right flank thus giving him the inertia to fully swing around and mount.

    Oh, *that*?

    I thought that looked pretty good. Maybe I blinked halfway through it or something, but that was nothing compared to the wargs or merry and pippin being picked up by treebeard.
