The extended FOTR especially did a better job of showing the relationship between Legolas and Gimli. I love the quote just before the walls of Moria, <P>Gandalf: "If the secret of a Dwarf door is lost, not even their maker can open it!"<BR>Legolas: "Why doesn't that surprise me?"<BR>Gimli: the classic unhappy Gimli-grunt<P>Okay, so it didn't really make sense, but it was delivered quite well. I think Gimli's side was shown much better than Legolas', but the whole thing was done quite well considering the limited screen time. It's really touching in the book when they get separated during the battle, and Legolas is really happy to see him again. Wish they'd kept that.
