I think there is two problems that make it a larger problem overall.

First and the most obvious is the obnoxious fan-girls who were so wooed over Legolas. It was the 'Oh he's so hot' remarks that annoyed me. It seems that they only were interested in LotRs because of his relative hotness.

Secondly, the over did the Legolas character. He's a good warrior with great bowmanship and swordsmanship but he's not a super hero or super surfer. The shield surfing was obnoxious but most obnoxious to me was the oliphant riding.

They made Legolas be the heart throb, so to speak, and it disgusted me as a fan.

Also Fordim had some good points too.

Edit: Cross posted with everything after Fordim's "leggy-booper" post. I was really busy at work.
