No, it doesnt live up

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2002)

Peter Jackson tried his best, and did his best, unfortunately his best wasnt up to it. I dont know but was I the only one who felt the Two Towers crawled? The Fellowship was almost as long, but didnt drag for a second, this one on the other hand had me looking at my watch every now and then. Dont get me wrong, I'm as big as a fan as any of you there, but in all honesty - when I walked out of the fellowship I wanted to be Legolas, I wanted to be Aragorn, and I know a lot of you did too. The Two Towers however didnt do anything of the sort. The film lacked direction and somewhere Peter Jackson let the hype get to him.
At the end of the day, it might be the extreme expectation I had from this movie - but nevertheless no where near the first one. --kliq
