I thought it was good and I read the books

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2003)

The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers is a good movie. Not great or outstanding but good. I feel the actors did a great job and everything was put in place to give you some good entertainment for a couple of hours but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is one of the following catagories A) A Die hard Tolkien fan B) Trying to get an idea of the book without actually reading it or C) assuming that seeing the movie qualifies as reading the book. if you are in one or more of those catagories you will come to discover that the movie was a complete waste of time. It is a great movie and will entertain you for a couple of hours yes but it's far enough from the book to counteract any real facts! However, I've read the books and seen the movies both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers and I personally liked both ..actually I loved them as much as I loved the books though there are parts that stick close to the books a lot of sections are changed or left out or added in whatever the case may be and should not be taken seriously in that sense; if anyone ever really does take a movie or book of fiction/fantasy seriously that is. Overall it's a good movie but not enough like the book to please most people. I would recommend it though.. you never know what you may like. I loved it
