The Two Towers is Mince

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2002)

The Two Towers was poor. The battle scenes were to fast. The deviations from the plot of the book undermined some of the key concepts of the book. Gimili's role as comic relief was tiresome, over-used and at times employed in inappropriate parts of the narrative. Key elements of the original story were completely discarded.
On the bright side Gollum was good and since the fellowship was excellent I hope Peter Jackson will redeem himself in the return of the king. Though I will always harbor a sense of disappointment that the strongest of the three books resulted in such a weak movie.
