Question:

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2003)

If this movie sucked so bad, then why did it get an Academy nomination from an academy that generally does not put fantasy movies in high regard? Remember, that Fellowship was also nominated for Best Picture, and it will not surprise anyone if ROTK also be nominated. I don't think an entire trilogy has EVER been nominated for Best Picture. Think about that.

Also, if this movie sucked so bad, check out two sites which have collections of lots of critics reviews. Metacritic.com gave an aggregate rating of 90 to Two Towers. That blows almost every movie in 2002 away. Also, check out rottentomatoes.com. Same story. I'm not saying movie reviewers are god, but they sure watch more movies than anyone writing on these message boards. Hell, they do it for a living. Being as cynical as they are, they still by all accounts gave TTT (and LOTR) generally rave reviews. What does this mean for people who trash TTT and LOTR? It means that they are either incredibly cynical and will rarely enjoy movies. Or they are just incredibly stupid, and don't have the intellectual capacity to do so.
