Good but not as great as FOTR

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2003)

I had never read the Tolkien books until after the FOTR came out. Even then, I made myself read the books first, then see the movie. I loved FOTR. It made MiddleEarth a reality. The Two Towers was a great sequel but after just having read the books, I had a hard time dealing with the changes made by Peter Jackson. I can only hope that the extended dvd version will change my mind a little. Overall a great movie and I loved Gollum/Smeagol.
