Totally agree. Lacks Substance

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2002)

Sure it may look great.But the story lacks substance. It feels to me like they go from adventure to adventure with no story ark. Elijah Wood is not Frodo. You had no sympathy for him.
Legolas completely wasted. They turned Gimli into a fool. Which is totally against what was portrayed in the book. All in all I thought the acting was Ok at best. Very stiff dialogue.I normally love Christopher Lee.But not in this.Too monatone. Samwise Gamgee was the LOTR equivalant of Jar Jar Binks.
All in all very disapointed. People have overlooked what made the book great in the first place. Count me out of Two Towers. Peter Jackson is very talented. This is not his best work.
