Very disappointing.

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2002)

While I can understand that books must be modified when made into a movie, the changes in the Two-Towers are generally worthless. The acting is very poor and wooden, the story-line changed in ways that actually weaken the plot, and the over-reliance on CGI makes Gollum almost a parody. I found it almost painful to watch, not because changes where made to the book, but because this is simply bad movie making almost to the level of Ralph Bakshi. Basically Peter Jackson owes us all an apology for not just bad movie making, but for trashing such a wonderful book. Such a waste of money...
