Jackson's Two Towers

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2003)

Spoiler How can anyone who claims to be a Tolkien fan claim that Jackson's movies have been good. Now I can understand that certain scenes have to be modify or even left out due to time limits. I also don't mind additional stuff added in that were not mentioned in the books in order to bring in additional people. But I absolutely hate when Jackson decides to rewrite one of the greatest series ever.
What do I mean by this? In the first movie, for the most part Jackson did do a good job. My disappointments: No Tom, I understand it was left out because of time, but No Tom. Making Merry and Pippen into clowns. Read the Books Jackson. Merry and Pippen did not steal food from Maggot after they were grown. Only as kids. The ending, Do you really think that Pippen and Merry would of let Frodo go off by himself, NOOOOOOOOOO. He should of keep to the book and had him run back to the boats in the shadow world which was a cool effect anyway.
As far as the second movie, Jackson really screwed up the movie. The scenes between Aragon and Arwen, I don't mind at all. Not in the book, means it could of happen we don't know. But NO WHERE IN THE BOOKS does a unit of Friggin elves come down to Helm's deep, and Aragon never comes close to dying in the books except in the appendix where he does die of old age. For those two scenes, Jackson's Director chair should be chopped up and Jackson should be chased out of the movie buiz.
To blantantly add stuff that never happened and never would of or could of happen just angers me to no end. So Mr. Jackson, please do us a favor and accidently destroy the third movie, because I know you are going to mess that one up also, and never do Tolkien again.
