I slo-mo'd through it on the DVD because I was sure that it was a CGI, but it's difficult to tell. I remain convinced that it is CGI, though, because it just doesn't look humanly (or even elf-ly) possible to me. At some point his whole body twists round in a way that seems to defy anatomy.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> Acutally, the very fact that you couldn't tell in a flash wether it was cgi'd or not says mountains. I thought it was acceptable, though over-dramatic (as usual). & the fact that it looked much less cheesy then when Legolas jumped off of the cave troll's back is good news.
