I liked Legolas better in this film than in the FOTR. He seemed older and wiser, like an elf should be. ( And to be honest, he was almost the only character I really liked in this movie...)

Sting Tired of being attacked!!!(or The Defense of Fantasy)

Ok, I'm not sure how to put this, to make myself understood, but lately I've grown really tired of people, who think that fantasy-literature is only "escapism" and it isn't really "high literature"...
