I've never felt so despised by a movie.

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2002)

That's right. The Two Towers cares not a whit for the good people in the eight-dollar seats. It doesn't care if it bores you to tears. It doesn't care if you can't tell one character from another. It doesn't care if you notice that the dwarf goes from about six-one in the initial running-around-Middle-Earth scenes to about three-eight in the closeups. It doesn't care if you think that the torment endured by the horribly pathetic, abused, and addicted Gollum is funny as hell, which half of the insensitive morons in the theater did. This is a bad and heartless movie, make no mistake. It goes nowhere. It contains nothing. It's ugly and annoying and impenetrable. When the lights came up at last, my wife gasped, "Oh, thank God!" Most of the people around us agreed.
