Good Movie - Can't wait for the Extended DVD.

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2002)

Well, I saw the movie for the first time last night and thought it was a very good movie. I was a little disappointed with some of the plot changes from the book, but I still enjoyed it considerably. The Gollum and Ent storylines were great, but I felt the Rohan storyline was a little weak. Eomer, Eowyn, and Wormtongue were good, but I never really connected with Theoden and his people emotionally. Both of the final battle sequence were amazing, but didn't seem as long as everyone was describing. Like the first movie, I thought the story felt rushed, so I can't wait for the Extended DVD. I hope its as good as the first one.
