Aragorn's "Dwelling in the days of peace" speech at his coronation.
|
I have a video tape somewhere with an episode of The South Bank Show about Ian McKellen; on this there's a most amusing out-take where they do a 'spoof' coronation. In this, Ian McKellen is crowned and he delivers the immortally camp line "these are the days of the Queen..."
Now, to be fair on the lines which Orlando Bloom got, I think they weren't all
that bad, but you could tell he was straight-out-of-drama-school in many cases; his enunciation was just too perfect, which made some of his lines sound twee.
My worst line has to be the much hated: "Give up the halfling, she-elf".
