The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers is, as a movie, enjoyable. The special effects are spectacular, to the extent that fully CG characters, such as Gollum, seemed entirely real and natural. As an interpretation of Tolkien's novel, The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers is, as a movie, enjoyable. The special effects are spectacular, to the extent that fully CG characters, such as Gollum, seemed entirely real and natural. As an interpretation of Tolkien's novel, however, this picture is very poor. In particularity, certain characters have been altered beyond recognition, and certain events have been changed without valid reason. Although I understand that certain sequences couldn't be filmed due to time constraints, there was absolutely NO reason for Peter Jackson to exclude crucial scenes from the book, only to replace them with senseless scenes of his own conception. The ending sequence at Osgiliath is a particularly egregious example. Expand

WOW!!!! I want more, and more, and more... The movie's amazing!!!! Battles are truly epic, while Gollum is as real as it gets. From all the scenes with him, you get the feeling Gollum is real. If I was 6 yrs old, and somebody would tell WOW!!!! I want more, and more, and more... The movie's amazing!!!! Battles are truly epic, while Gollum is as real as it gets. From all the scenes with him, you get the feeling Gollum is real. If I was 6 yrs old, and somebody would tell me that Gollum is not real, I would not believe him. Expand
