Here's my question: if Legolas is such a great fighter (and he is, but even more so in the movie than the book), and if most elves are as amazing as him (as Anuion says, and probably rightly so) then why didn't the addition of those Lorien elves to the battle at Helm's Deep make those 10,000 orcs run away in fear. I mean, I think it would have, but for some reason, every elf bar Legolas and the rest of the talking ones is a silent, stare-straight-ahead robot! Even I think that's a bit unfair, and I'm a dwarf...
