The Fellowship of the Ring was better

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2002)

The Two Towers is a great movie, but everyone who said that this would be the one with the most changes from the books were right (probably, no 3 is not yet out...). As a big Tolkien fan, you have a very clear idea about things so there are always going to be changes you cannot like. This is certainly the case with TTT. There are some changes that I do not see why they made because they do not improve or explain anything. I mean, giving Arwen more screentime is certainly a good idea or everyone who has not read the books will wonder who she is when she marries Aragorn. However, the movie is great, and just as in the first movie the casting is amazing. My favourites include Éowyn, Gríma and Éomer. They were absolutely wonderful. The best thing about the movie? Gollum of course.
