AMAZING

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2002)

I saw this movie on opening day and waited 2 hours to see it and i work at the theater i saw it at, the number of people alone ensured me that this movie would blow my mind the same way as the first.
This movie has no beginning and no end so it feels incomplete at first which was a problem i had coming out of the film because the last thing i remember about the movie was nothing. But the bad ending aside(we all knew it was coming anyways) this movie was spectacular. The battle scenes were like nothing ever seen before and just a tastse of what we will be seeing in the third film. The only drawbacks to the film were the few peices of comic relief because it seemed so horribly out of place, mainly because in the first film the comedy was just feel good stuff that made you comfortable with the charachters and made you truely care for them so that when they are put in danger you worry more. But in two towers they just make wise comments which seem to mock the movie, i think the comedy should have been left out because it was hard to feel the emotions of certain scenes because of a generic one liner, in parcitular the beginning of the battle of helms deep gimli is waiting next to legolas in the fort for the uru kai charge and while i started getting that powerful feeling of dread for the danger the characters were in it was quickly shot by the camera goin to gimmlis head not going over the wall and he cracked a rediculous joke about not being able to see and the audience cracked up and i laughed but the scene was dead and the uru kai charged and a truly powerful scene was lost for me. I want to view this movie again in a smaller crowd and truely expirence it for myself which i advise everyone to do because when theres a crowd laughing hysterically during a battle scene it because very hard to get into it.
But enough gripes dont get me wrong because this was more than an amazing movie because it made me realize that if a film can be this good and there are three of them and they are each different and the next one will be better then i am proud to be witness to what in my opinion is the greatest event in cinematic history. Movies like the these are the movies that will truely inspire you, because it inspired me. Sorry for the long review.. here this is for those of you who wont read the whole thing
GO SEE THIS MOVIE IT IS AMAZING AND FAN OR NOT ULL EITHER STAY ONE OR BECOME ONE YOU CANT LOSE.10/10
