An audience pleaser, or a work of art

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2004)

As we once again incounter our hero's on their quest to destroy the one ring, we find ourselves in a trance with the love of the film. What I mean by love is the wonderful scenes in this film. The beauty, the lust, it reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia in some way. The way Peter Jackson has the sun in the backround when Aragorn,Legolas, and Gimli (Yes I memorized all of their names) run towards it. And the acting, my god, when you talk about dramatic actors, you think of plain old dramas, not fantasy epics. Believe me this film can get dramatic, but is this film is as dramatic as the first one, well no.
The first one is way better. The drama, the beginning of it all, the sadness, and there's something about the fight scenes that seem real in some way. The "Fellowship" focuses on the acting, not action, "The Two Towers" has useless, mindless action for the audience. Instead of focusing on the Hobbits and what these characters have to go threw to believe that they can destroy evil. What we get is a 45 minute action scene and Gandolf riding down a hill to save his friend. If this film kept the same pace of the first film, then I would give this film four stars. But here it is.
I give this film 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.
