Convoluted interpretation of the Two Towers

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2002)

Firstly,let me say the Two Towers is visually Stunning with Gollum and Helms Deep as the two standout features in an otherwise ambiguous and convoluted interpretation of the book. By this I mean Peter Jackson has misinterpreted the book in his own image and likeness.
Secondly, The Two Towers concern Orthanc and Minas Morgul, that guards the secret entrance to Mordor (not Bara-dur )......please see last page of The Fellowship of the Ring (Hardback Ed. illustrated by Alan Lee. Pub. by Harper Collins )
In the book Eowyn is left behind as shield maiden to look after her people after Theodens departure at Meduseld (Edoras ).She certainly does NOT leave with the King for Helms Deep. This makes nonsence when in the third book Aragorn see's her before riding to Dunharrow and The Paths of the Dead refusing her to join his company.
Frodo does Not go to Osgiliath but is left with Sam and Gollum in the forest by Faramir to journey to the cross-roads and the Stairs of Cirith Ungol.
At No point does the Nazgul try to take the Ring from Frodo.......Pure Fabrication.
The Ents DO decide to help Merry and Pippin to go to War against Saruman with the help of the Huorns. Where are the Huorns at Helms Deep that help to annilhate the fleeing Orcs????
Where is the confrontation with Gandalf and Saruman, the breaking of his Staff and the Palantir being thrown by Wormtongue at the Company.Where is the ride to Minas Tirith with Gandalf and Pippin after he has looked into the Palantir?
Finally and most important where is Shelob? why does the film not finish, as the book, with this superb cliff-hanger?
There are far too many annomalies in this convoluted interpretation of the Two Towers........especially from some one purportavely to have read the books in such detail. An 8/10.
