Who out of the Fellowship was the best in the films? I'm not talking about who was hottest, but who was your fave for any reason. Me say (not surprisingly) Legolas!

THE ONE RING...

It controlled everything... It was the brains and had everyone else enthralled!!! HAHAHAH!!!

For me it was Gandalf. I don't know why, but I just loved it how he was played, how the actor acted, everything.

Gandalf is the best! (IMO)

I chose Gimli mostly because I can identify with his crankiness, his loyalty, his sense of humor and his inadvertent comic relief.

Yeah...what dwndrgn said

I had to vote for Sam. In the end, if it had not been for him and his support of Frodo, the ring might very well not have been destroyed. Anyway, I really admire his loyalty and determination, and his restraint in not just tossing Gollum off the mountain.

I voted for Gandalf because, in my opinion, Ian McKellen acted, sounded and looked perfect.

Aragorn son of Arathorn/King Elessar

He stayed loyal to the Fellowship no matter what.

It was Legolas for me too, very cool character

I absolutely loved watching Perigrin Took! “You fool of a Took!” (Gandalf the Grey) At the beginning of the series, it seemed very likely that he would probably end up dieing. But during the cores of the movies he was forced to grow up and see things differently. I think that he is the one who ended up killing the king of the Nasgal, pleas correct me if I am wrong.

Im going to have to correct you now.

All peregin did was stab the Naz'gul king it was actually killed by that chick who had a crush on Aragorn when she stabbed it in the face.

How did I miss this the first time?! I voted for Gandalf, he was exactly how I pictured him being. In the books I loved the interaction between Gimli and Legolas, but I don't think it carried over that well in the movies.

Samwise was the greatest member without a shadow of a doubt. He defeated the ring and remained loyal to his friend to the last.

Seth God Of Chaos · 4th October 2004, 05:04 AM

Yeah he was pretty cool.

Legolas, and that makes me a fangirl, but oh well. He did the most interesting things in battle. Never having read the books, I was permitted to read a certain level of smug snobbery into his calm demeanor. He always seemed to save everyone at the last minute, he never looked unduely scruffy, and the token bit of dirt on his cheek after the filthy Mines of Moira was priceless. "Hey, how's the snow down there? Pretty cold, huh?"

Non Fellowship characters - Eomer. Oh my, yes. He was just so grumpy and intriguing.
