Worst Line in ROTK

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> 'A diversion!' ~ Legolas. I agree about the 'Mr.Obvious'! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Actually, I began referring to both the actor and the movie character as Captain Obvious. I must say, they really did give Orlando Bloom the worst part of it.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Legolas: "The stars are veiled." (<I>We see that the stars are veiled in the distance</I>)<BR>Legolas: "Something stirs in the East...A sleepless malice."<BR>Legolas: "The Eye of the enemy is moving." (<I>For both of these lines, throughout the movie, they continue to show a large eye on top of a tower swivelling and looking around</I>)<BR>Legolas: "He is here!" (<I>We just saw the Eye looking out of the Palantir</I>)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Then, we see thrashing horses and quiet men...<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Legolas: "The horses are restless...and the men are quiet."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>You get the general idea. At least he isn't yelling "Orcs" every thirty seconds anymore. Instead he's jumping on an Oliphant and taking down the whole caravan. Everyone I know except for myself liked it. I nearly screamed.<P>However, the Gimli comic-relief chugs on, I'm sad to say:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Gimli: "Certainty of death! Small chance of success!" Gimli: "What are we waiting for?!"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>If he had just added "And I'm short!" it would have completed the routine.<P>Okay, I know many of you will say that<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Gimli: "Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf." Legolas: "What about side by side with a friend?" Gimli: "Aye, I could do that." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>is one of the worst quotes, but I actually liked it. Since they can't really follow up on the Legolas and Gimli friendship, they at least have each acknowledge the other as a friend.<P>I realize it was an emotional part, but I thought that the Sam crying bit was overdone. I realize he's facing horrible things and he still has a bit of the Shire left in him, but if he cried one more time...<P>But, to leave it on a good note: the best line:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Sam: "Well...I'm back."<BR>THE END<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I was afraid that wouldn't be the last line, but it was. I started giggling hysterically when he said it...amidst crying.<P>EDIT: And yes, I have the Return of the King script on favorites online. I haven't seen it enough times to know all those lines yet.<p>[ 7:08 PM January 13, 2004: Message edited by: VanimaEdhel ]
