Oh... my... God... *spoilers*

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2002)

I loved this movie... I loved Fellowship too, but this one... it's so funny...! The tone in FOTR is very very serious between the fellowship, compared to the tone between my three main men after seeing this movie: Legolas ( I love that guy! ), Gimli, And Aragorn...!
The development in relationship between these three is awesome... we already know that Aragorn and Legolas go way back, and that Gimli can be a thorn in the eye on both of them from time to time... But the way these three act together, it's unbelievably cool! The love-hate relationship between these three, it is so brilliant, I was in awe...! Especially between Gimli and Legolas, the frustrating outbursts of Legolas towards Aragorn at Helm's Deep and the sneaky attack at the bridge of Helm's Deep when we get to learn a little more about "nobody tosses a dwarf!" I liked this trio, but I loved the relationship between the dwarf and the elf...
I also liked Elijah Wood more in this movie than in FOTR, he's very dark and brooding and it shows the burden of the ring very clearly... I feel so sorry for poor Frodo, but I loved his development in character anyway!
But the TRUE star of the show... Left me in awe ... again... Poor, POOR Smeágol! This poor creature is so miserable you can only feel sorry for him... he's so cute at sometimes and so disgustingly evil at other times... The way his split personalities work was a bit confusing at first, but it makes sense when you think about it a time or two...
Go see this movie... don't argue, DO IT... It's incredible... I think the reason why it 100% lives up to the first one is due to the fact that they shot all the films at one time...! They didn't have to do better than the first one, and that is great...
So go see this movie, and enjoy the scenery, the wonderful acting, the feel of the whole thing... And enjoy the ironic joking between Legolas and Gimli in particular...
I love this movie... Whoever said it was boring or lacked something was wrong... ask the people who were with me last night at the Danish premiere at Imperial, Copenhagen... I think they'd disagree...!
