Two Towers is only the 2ND part of a TRILOGY!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2002)

To everyone who gave a negative review,
Would you please comment sensibly? Look, this is the second part of a trilogy. You are really watching a 9-hour movie shown to you in 3 parts. All the character building is done in the first installment. The second movie is more to advance various characters' relationships and moving the story of the war further.
Do you see the frailty of humans, dwarves and elves (who are supposed to be immortal)?? Do you feel the heroes clinging on to their hope in the impossibility of their situations? Do you see the variety of personalities that made up the people in Helm's Deep? The commoners? The warriors? The knights? The defenders of the weak? Or do you just see a story that has been dragged for 3-hours?
I believe some are critical about how Peter jackson omitted out or changed certain portions of the story. People, he is trying to do his best to give us the best interpretation of the very lengthy and often long-winded story written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Believe me, going through the length of the 3 books was quite torturous (even though I think it is a modern classic). If he were to be as true to the books as some of you want it to be, he would probably be better off making the nine segments that made up the 3 books!! By then most of you would have lost much interest over some of the very exhausive and boring parts of the entire story.
Be very grateful Mr Jackson has given us the best fantasy epic yet! Then think about this: can you do better?!
