Good film, but not Tolkien's Two Towers

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2002)

Attention: possibility of spoiler!
This movie was great as The fellowship of the ring does. Good actors, great visual and sound effects, and overall a marvellous Gollum-Sméagol.
But Jackson's Two Towers is not faifhful to Tolkien's work like the Fellowship last year. Last year Jakson cut a lot of scene, but I understand this. This year the director follow only the basical structure of the storyline and he adds, because he has the power, new scenes, sometimes insignifiants:
Why Aragorn fall in the battle of the wargs? This scene doesn't exist in the book. Why elves join the humans in Helms deep? Why Haldir die? Why Frodo meet the Witch-King? This scene was written by Tolkien in his first issue of the Lord of the rings, but finally he deleted it. In fact it was surely a reason. Can Jackson explain those enormous artistic licenses?
I hope the next Return of the King will respect more the book and the Tolkien's work. 8/10
