Flippin Eck!

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2003)

...what a bloody brilliant film this is! So much better than the first! The comical element to this film also helped make this one of the best films in many many years! ...Jackson should have won every award a director could get for this effort... it's a brilliant piece of film making! Even when the likes of Elijah Wood and Sean Astin look like faultering the direction alone solves the problem. ...The weak part of the films IN MY OPINION involved Elijah Wood and that boring but needed scene involving Liv Tyler and Hugo Weaving. ...All in all the reason this film is so damn good is because of that amazing Helms Deep battle... which was 10 out of 10 as far as battle sequences go! It had everything from the build up to the conclusion! Mortensen, Bloom and Davies are a great team of actors 10 times better than the Hobbits!
9/10
