1420!

Yes, the jump on the horse scene was a little over the top. It just seemed fake. First, he grabs it by the neck , on the horses right side, looking back. Then, by some magical force, he was turned around to the horse's left side and facing forward, then lifted up over the horse and on to it by that same magical force without knocking Gimli off. Its just too unbelieveable for me. And when he shield skates down the stairs? Come on. I could just imagine the shield slippping out from under his feet, fly off to hit another elf, and he lands flat on his behind and gets stabbed by an orc. If I wanted to see something like that, I could just look at some old skate videos of me and my friends.<P>All these unbelieveable stunts he pulled worked to gether with Gimli as the comedian. How so? Well, when Gimli really is making jokes all the time, and Legolas is magically flipping around on horses, it shoves Gimli back and puts legolas way in front, blocking Gimli. To me it seemed like Legolas outshined Gimli.<P>But I have to admit, it was pretty cool what Legolas did and he did do a great job.<p>[ December 22, 2002: Message edited by: MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie ]
