Better than the first!

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2003)

I haven't read any of the Lord Of The Rings books or "The Hobbit" either, but these movies have gotten me interested. I really hope I do, because it's hard for me to remember all the character's names, since like most names in fantasy stories, they're hard to remember.
The plot has thickened more from the last movie, because it's now not just everyone in a group. They're in seperate groups, and I think its a cool concept how the scenes shift from group to group. The battle scene(s) at the end were a very worthy climax. I especially like the scenes where Gollum was "talking to himself". It made it seem like two separte people were talking, on how they shifted Gollum/Smeagle from scenes at different angles. Very clever. I can't wait for "Return Of The King".
Although I'm kind of curious as how they were able to kill the guys and the hamster monsters they rode with just one arrow, it was still quite memorable. 8.5 out of 10.
