11. Legolas


Unlike a lot of people in this thread, I have nothing against Legolas. In fact, I never even knew he was hated before this. I only ranked him this low because he's not very colorful and somewhat boring. Don't get me wrong, a lot of his interactions with Gimli are just hilarious, and they do bring some comic relief to the movies. But apart from just being "there", he doesn't really do much for me. As an audience, it feels as if the people who made the movie didn't really care about him. We never got emotionally invested in him or anything. And something about him just seems weird when he's fighting. But he's still a good character.

Bonus points for the Youtube video at the bottom of this post!

10. Denethor


As LOL worthy as Denethor is, he's still a complete twat. I like him in the way I like Coach - he's very colorful and he's just so over the top bizarre it is hard not to like him. I just have to laugh he takes himself so seriously. One of my favo scenes ever is when he is chewing and blood starts to run down his mouth. How do you chew so hard your mouth starts to bleed? LOL. It's silly. He's such a grump, I love him. On the negative side, he is a complete asshole and is ignorant to all the warning signs going off around him. He is so over-wraught (sp?) with guilt that he sends his own son Faramir off to certain death. And then tries to kill him when he returns from battle still alive!

I know he's a tool, but he still amuses me. And I don't know why!

Ok, I watched about 35 minutes and then I was like "hmmmm I wonder what's going on online?"

</3 short attention spans.

Anyway....

#5: Samwise Gamgee


It has been previously mentioned in this thread that Sam was obnoxious and should not rank highly in this thread. Yeah, he was whiny towards Frodo, but he deserved it. It's heard not to appear whiny to someone when you are arguing with them and you just KNOW you're right but they won't listen. Sam is the true hero of this movie. Without him, Frodo never would have even made it to Mt Doom. He is the eptiome of everything right with these movies. He's strong, he's heroic, he's brave, he's smart, and he's sensible. He puts all personal concerns aside and risks his life to save the day soo many times. He was in close proximity to the Ring the whole time, and even takes the Ring for safe keeping and the power of it does not effect him. He should have just held on to it the whole time, lol.

One of my favorite Sam moments is when it zooms in on his mouth and he says "Share the load." It's kinda hawt. OK not really.


#4: Arwen


Suck it haters! I have made it clear that I have not read the books, only seen the movies. I don't care if she was minor in the books, she kicked major ass in the films. First off, she's beautiful. It's not even that... there is just this weird kind of mystical sense of awe whenever she is on the screen. You just immediately know that there is something special about her. She has great onscreen chemistry with Aragorn and you can easily see why he loves her so much. As a character, she is very selfless and gives up her own immortality in order to help Aragorn and save humanity. The scene where she is riding off and has a vision of her unborn son is one of my favorite scenes in the whole trilogy.

She kicks ass too. I don't recall if she ever picks up a sword and fights.... but the part where she rides on her horse along carrying a sick Frodo while the Nazguls are chasing her is epic. And then she summons that spell to make the water wash them away <333 I'm not a Liv Tyler fan, but she is pretty darn good in this movie. I felt so happy at the end when she wound up marrying Aragorn (although I did see it coming from a mile away). Arwen love <3!
