Book nerd review

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2020)

In a vacuum, this movie is maybe even better than the Fellowship of the Ring, in that it has so much more action and the cinematography and action are unique. Despite that, I think the first movie of the trilogy adapted the books better, in that it followed it carefully, except for the removal of Tom Bombadil, which was a good thing. This sequel fails to show the depth of the Ent Arc and represents Faramir and the men of Gondor as easily corrupted as Boromir. Those were the biggest misteps, for me, a book nerd.
