good movie but does not accurately portray the book

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2002)

This movie is definitely worth seeing, regardless of whether you have read the books or not. The only thing that really bothered me about this movie was that it went off from the book around the second half. Perhaps the worst was the portrayal of Faramir, whose character in the book let Frodo and Sam go as soon as he found out their mission, instead of holding them prisoner in the movie; so basically his character was shortchanged.
Aside from that, the movie was awesome, and was better then fellowship in every way. The best part, in my opinion, was the battle of Helm's Deep, I had high expectations for this scene, and it exceeded them.
