Awesome! A worthy follow up to FOTR!

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2003)

Firstly let me say that i loved TTT, but not quite as much as FOTR. As other people have already commented, although spectacular, it lacks the heart of the first movie - a necessary evil just because of the sheer nature of the story. i do not have any problems with the changes PJ has made to the original books, and i do not think that just because i have the read the books that makes me a better judge of the movies. all the tolkien nerds out there who cant handle any changes - grow up, there is more to life than reading LOTR 365 days a year. a movie is a movie, not a book. imagine if we had tom bombadil in the first movie, it woulda dragged on and on and we would have never gotten to rivendell. arwen's extended role(as much as it is criticised) is an effective movie device. through her we are given an insight(and a means) into seeing what is going on with the elves. romance does occur in real life(as much as tolkien geeks hate to admit it due to lack of romance in there own lives). i couldnt be bothered going on, so ill wrap up now. TTT gets a 9/10, while the FOTR got 10/10.
