Ugh, don't even get me started on Legolas!!! What a disappointment! I could rant and criticize for years....but that is for another thread. Or is it?

Be happy that they only downplayed his character and didn't destroy it altogether. *coughfrodocough*...*and others*...

I see what you mean, though. I would say they did it with others, too. Gandalf, for one, is one character who got very little character development, even though he got a considerable amount of screen time.

But they didn't destroy his character, even if they down played it a little bit.

I think you see a little more of Eomer in the Extended version to be fair. And his portrayal was very good too, so I think he wouldn't be 'forgotten' by all who saw the films! Interestingly, I was watching an episode of Xena:Warrior Princess the other night and Karl Urban was playing a deliciously evil (and non-cheesy, an achievement by Xena standards!) Caesar - made me see he is a pretty good actor!

Yes but then he was in Doom

I don't think he was cut out that much, but even the people that hadn't read the books like me at the time, knew that he was there and had a crucial part to play. I have read the books now of coarse. I also think that Karl Urban plays Eomer wonderfully.
