Awesome

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2003)

this was a cool movie. lot's of action, and we got introduced to some new and cool characters, namely Golum, the weird newt frog man, i suppose that's what you'd call him. Golum was my favorite character in this move. it's a good thing they did all of these movies at once, or else the hype might have over shadowed the quality of the movie, but they did this a good as it could get.
i also thought the tree people were really cool. they were sort of comical, but when it came time to take them seriously, surprisingly enough, you actually could take these trees seriously. it was good to see gandalf return as well. i didn't know he would cause i haven't read the book. the action scene at the end was cool, but i actually liked the parts where Golum was leading Sam and Froto though the land better, just because it showed who Golum used to be, and still partially is. The battle was pretty awesome, though.
all in all i'd say this is a satisfactory follow up. i liked it just as much as the original. it's fun for kiddies and grown ups alike. this one isn't nearly as violent as everyone was making it out to be, but it's still pretty gory at parts. can't wait for return of the king to come out! 10/10
