Elf from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Played by Orlando Bloom in the films. Attracts legions of screaming fangirls that could quite easily attach themselves to any given part of his body and never let go.
The character himself is mediocre at best, exhibiting extraordinary prowess with the bow and arrow but little to no intellect when it comes to dialogue.
In the novels he bursts into song frequently. In the films he provides "witty" comic relief along with dwarf-friend Gimli. Their tired banter makes the audience yawn, but keeps the fangirls happy.

Peter Jackson: Legolas hasn't had a line in awhile. What do we have going in this scene?
...
Aragorn: "He needs time, and safe passage across the Plains of Gorgoroth. We can give him that."
Gimli: "How?"
Aragorn: "Draw out Sauron's armies, empty His lands. Then we gather our full strength and march on the Black Gate. We can give Frodo his chance if we keep Sauron's Eye fixed upon us!"
long pause
Legolas: "A diversion!"
Legolas synonyms: captain obvious

An Elf character in Tolkien's Legendarium who was created late into writing because Tolkiem changed his mind on the Elvish companion of Frodo. He had meant for Glorfindel to accompany the Fellowship. Thus Legolas is one of the most underwritten, undefined and hallowed characters in the Fellowship. Not that Gimli or Aragorn are that better. Legolas has a here and there friendship with both but mostly, Tolkien left too much to imagination about him.
In the films, Jackson tried to improve the character as best as he could: Gimli and Legolas have a stronger friendship ("What about side by side with a friend?") and great interactions with Aragorn.
He is great with a bow and he also has his dual long blades.

Movie-Legolas is better than Book-Legolas.

Lord of the Ring hottie elf. Shoots bows and arrows. Teenage girls sometimes refer to hot guys as a legolas.

An elf from JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings series. Absolutely kickass in the books, but played by a slightly /feminine/ actor. Unfortunately, his awesome lines from the books have turned into stupid ones in the movies.
"What we need, is to draw their attention away."
Expectant silence
Legolas: ".....a......diiiii...veeeersion!"

Character from Lord of the Rings who used to be good, but now only succeeds in stating the obvious, having a magically-replenishing supply of arrows, and drawing preteenaged fangirls who squeal far too much because "omg orlando bloom is teh hottest!"
