A good movie, but a worse adaptation then FOTR

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2003)

As a very avid fan of the books, I felt that a few too many liberties were taken with the plot of the Two Towers in it's adaption to the screen. The two major changes from the book which (in my opinion) would have been better cinematicly if they had NOT been changed were Faramir taking Frodo and Sam to Osgilliath and the downplaying of the Legolas and Gimli commraderie. Faramir lost some of his wisdom, Gimli some of his dignity and Legolas seemed to gain some super powers. Regardless, this isn't the book and had more than enough enjoyable parts to make up for what I perceived as discrepancies. Really enjoyable and almost as good as Fellowship of the Ring.
