Hi Robertkillen, I'm new here too, but your post definitely passes muster. In my book, at least. The word I'm looking for in order to describe Legolas' fighting style is...badass. I'm sorry, there isn't any other adjective that would capture Legolas when he is in action-mode. Of course, the same applies to Aragorn. But we expect Aragorn to be this way. He's unshaven, he wears a cloak, he is Viggo! But having gone into the movie pretty unfamiliar with Tolkien, I was surprised to see a blond-tressed, baby-faced, pointy-eared young elf turn into such a skillful orc (and other scum) exterminator. Well done PJ & Orlando Bloom!
