Legolas rocks, plain and simple.

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2003)

This was so so so much better than the first one! I found the first book in the series to be rather boring anyway, as it was simply setting up the story line. The Two Towers is when the action finally comes into play, and boy was there a lot of action in the movie! There were a few more changes made to the story line in this one than there were in the first one, but for the most part they seemed to work, although I didn't think they were really necessary to the flow of the story. But what do I know, I'm no Peter Jackson. All I know is my eyes were glued to the screen for the entire duration of the movie. I thought the devastatingly handsome Orlando Bloom as the ultra bad-ass elven assassin Legolas carried the battle scenes with a sleek finesse that is unusual to supporting actors in an epic action/adventure. The audience in the theater was gasping with astonishment at every light footed feat he performed. This was a beautiful motion picture that left me breathless. I WILL pay 9 dollars to see it again, and perhaps again after that.
