It is a good movie, but it isn't "The Two Towers"

Rating: 1/10 (5 March 2003)

If I had never read Tolkien's masterpiece, I may have enjoyed this film. While Fellowship of the Ring only deviated from the book when absolutely necessary, The Two Towers deviated from the book throughout most of the film. Scenes were invented for no apparent reason. Characters were eliminated and added for no aparent reason. The personalities of characters were different for no apparent reason. And the editing was extremely choppy.
All that aside, this might be a good movie when viewed on its own, but it is NOT The Two Towers. It isn't even a reasonable facsimile. There are some resemblances but that's about it.
