Well, I am a HUGE Fan of Orlando Bloom. Yes I am a Male Guy, but I'm a Bisexual guy, so that might just explain alot! (Everyone always asks me, might as well say it up front) But thats besides the point, my point is: Do you guys think Orlando Bloom is a very good actor? I mean, really? Yeah, he is hot and everything, but every character he plays is really the same. A softie, usually somehwta romantic. He played a hot Elf, but ever realize how much he said?I mean, don't get me wrong, it was a GREAT idea to cast his as Legolas- how much do you want to bet at LEAST 10% of the profit was from Teen Girls wanting to go see Orlando Bloom?

It's not necessarily that he's a bad actor. He just hasn't had a chance to prove himself. Like you said, he's being type-cast. He's been in adventure movies only, and nothing too serious. He needs to be given more opportunities before we can properly judge him.

Yes I agree, I haven't seen him in anything except the LOTR movies, and Pirates of the Carribean. Type cast or not, he did a good job with his character in POTC, but only as it was different from Legolas (at least in my opinion). I havent seen Troy yet. I think time will tell how good of an actor he really is, and if he is here to stay for the long run or not, which saddley isn't up to him or his talent, but the way Hollywood uses him from now on, type casting or new oppertunities. And as for finding an actor to make the teenage girls go wild, thats a smart buisness move.

I agree with all of you on this topic ... but I do have to add. He did a wonderful job in LOTR's. Yes he didn't speak much, but he said alot. If that makes sense He is good enough of an actor to be able to portray a character without using too many words. He will need to probably prove himself a little more, after all we haven’t seen him in any other type of roles, but he does really good with what he has been given thus far. Just my 2 cents!

Well, because I am such a fan, I have seen almost all of his movies. And let me tell you, in Troy he plays just about the Same character as every other movie-let me explain: Pirates of the Carribean, Will's Personality: -Romantic -Handsome -Dashing -Somehwta a Softie Troy-Paris -Romantic -Handsome -Dashing somewhat.. . -A SUPER softie-can't even fight in battle!

Reasons why it is foolish to hate him: 1) His First Role was Lord of the Rings. This Fame is overwhemling for him! He's not spolided or anything like Brad Pitt or someone 2) No, he's not a good actor, (IMHO) but seriously, is that his fault that people cast him? 3) He's a wonderful guy. You're just jealous Girls like him better than you!
