Well it's pretty straightforward to me. It means they're not just plodding along on their way; they're running like they're about to get whipped any second - quite a difference.

But I agree that Legolas has some...uh...interesting lines.

What are you all meaning by cheesy? Most of the ones meantioned, I thought halarious.

Poor Legolas. Even some of his reasonably good lines are being picked on . lol, I must say, I hope that if actors ever read these things, that they have a sense of humor.

Cheesy quotes:
Quote:
What's this? A ranger caught off his guard?
I hate that one.
Quote:
Let us hunt some orcs.
Kills my sister everytime.
Quote:
Gandalf told me to keep you safe, and safe is where I'll keep you.
Kinda funny, but redundant

What does your heart tell you?
Is used in to many movies, and sounds really stupid. I mean really, Star Wars can get away with it, seeing as cheesyness is what it's all about, but LotR?

And I could fill the whole page, but I'm getting tired.
