kudos to Jackson

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

While not entirely true to the book, this movie was incredible. I resented that Jackson added stuff to the movie that was not in the book while leaving out things that happened in the book, and the portrayal of Faramir could have been better. Gollum was exceptionally well done, as were the Ents. Overall, this was an amazing movie. I saw it twice on the first day it opened, so I had plenty of time to examine it. Aside from the aforementioned glitches and a few others, The Two Towers is commendable work. I cannot wait to see what Jackson does with the third, and am anxiously awaiting the extended version on DVD.
