Never Thought!

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2003)

All I can say is I can't get enough of both Fellowship of the Rings and now, even more so, The Two Towers, which I am happy to say I've now seen 15 times in the theatre, and STILL I am not bored! I love these films! If I could I'd write and thank Peter Jackson for his genious, and courage to undertake such a project--to take such classic books and recreate them in a whole different media, and to do it with such taste and class. Well, the fact that he pulled it off astounds me. Would that J. R. R. Tolkien could be here to see the results of Mr. Jackson's (and so many other's!) hard work. I believe he'd be pleased and proud.
I have to say my favorite bits of The Two Towers happen during the last 30 minutes or so, when the just film becomes one visually stunning image after the next. Some of the shots are like looking at the most gorgeous fantasy paintings imaginable--and watching them come to life!
