Too much noise for nothing

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2003)

This movie disappointed me very much. As a fan of Tolkien's works, I rather liked 'the fellowship of the ring', even if there were points on which I could argue. I was hence quite impatient to see 'the two towers' and I spent 3 hours of fluctuation between smile and tears looking at this pathetic adaptation of one of the greatest books I read.
Peter Jackson should reconsider its so-called 'tolkien specialists' 's salary as my 8 years-old cousin understood the book better than them.

But besides the point that the film is a total heresy compared to the book, the scenario is weak, some situations ridiculous and the battles are really badly filmed. Every cliché of the B (should say Z) movies is here and the charisma of Vigo Morgensen and some FX are not enough save the film.

Save your ticket's money to buy the book...
