FOTR was a disaster, TT an obscenity

Rating: 1/10 (8 February 2003)

I wrote an epistle refuting the slavish adoration of "The Fellowship of the Extended Series of Fight Scenes (punctuated by occasional helicopter shots of people walking)", but frankly this second chapter isn't worth the effort.
Why did I go see The Two Towers? Hope springs eternal I suppose, and frankly I was interested in seeing what the gang at WETA would do with the ents (highly disappointing) and Gollum, (impressive work, though ill-conceived).
Okay. Down to business.
1. Gratuitous plot changes.
2. No respect for Tolkien, his story or his characters.
3. There are no curse in Elvish, Dwarvish or the speech of Mordor fit for you, Herr Jackson.
