Exceeded my wildest expectations.

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2002)

There aren't enough clichÃ©s to describe this one. It's so powerful, so engaging, so beautiful, so powerful that it leaves you breathless. Sure, it strays from the book but only in ways that benefit the transition to cinema.
I can't believe I'll have to wait another year to see the last part. I can't believe "The Two Towers" was actually a much better movie than the masterpiece "The Fellowship of the Ring". But the thing that I have the hardest time grasping is how on earth "The Return of the King" is going to top "The Two Towers". And yet, I think it is very possible.
An epic masterpiece.
