I go for the book Legolas. I like Orlando Bloom's portrayal a lot. He embodies much of the Legolas from the book. But it is the script that missed the book Legolas too much. The book Legolas not only says more, but he is jovial. I like that he laughs and has joys. One of the scenes that gets me is when Legolas says, "You look terrible" to Aragorn in TTT. It's so funny and yet, you only see Aragorn's reaction because they have him on screen and the back of Legolas' head. And yet you can tell Leoglas is smiling, but they don't show it! I wanted to see him smile more. And of course, the friendship between Legolas and Gimli is so awesome in the book and not captured in the movie. All in all, it is the book Legolas that has my heart, though the movie Legolas has the looks!

I'll have to go for the one in the books. Legolas in the movies wasn't that bad, but I kept thinking that Legolas in the movie was being a show off at some parts, or something. In the book I always imagined Legolas as the quite fellow, the one who was always thinking and been watchful. In the movie, they showed him as watchful, yes, but he didn't resemble quite thinking-ness and quite-ness as in the book and some of his lines in the movie were annoying. "A diversion" lmao. Thank you captain obvious. But, there are still good parts in the movie that were interpreted very good than what you could imagine in the book.

Aww, poor Leggy! But "a diversion" was annoyingly obvious, so maybe he should be!

Book Legolas, no question about it. I wasn't very fond of Orlando's portrayal/acting...

After looks, of course I prefer the one from the movies, he is soo cool. But in book there is more deep in him, and he is more complexed and just everything more, but I do agree that frienship beetwen him and Gimli is more shown in movie than in a book.

I agree with you. I love the depth of the book Legolas, but I also love the way the film captured the friendship.
