the middle of the trilogy, atleast in major film trilogies,
is usually the darkest and best.
empire strikes back, aliens, road warrior, and now two
towers.

oh god.. its all so tasteless.. I mean, I like my epic
movies to have epic scores, don't get me wrong.. but this
just sounds like an epic movie-score in OVERDRIVE.. eww...

I was talking to Bremzen about this when we saw the
Fellowship... it would've been pretty great to give these
films an electronic music score - not aphex twin-like
ofcourse (duh..), no synths either, but organic sounding..

I saw it
I loved it
I will see it again
is there an extended version of part one?
will there be an extended one of part two?
I cant wait for part three

great movie
great history
the movie changes quite a few things, but its ok, they had
to do it to make it understandable

very happy

It was a huge let down after the masterpiece that Fellowship
was. They changed the whole story so they could add an hour
of love which never really occurred in the book. Any true
fan will be dissapointed..

xanatos, I cant disagree more with you... I am real fan (at
least that I thought) and I understand that one thing is a
book an another is a film.

the love story does exist in the book (third book epilogue)
but they had to put it now so that the film can follow its
own structure...

thats very true, nacmat. books are structurally completely
different to films.

I mean, I don't like the lovestory either, because it feels
kind of injected and is kind of clicheed.

I have mixed feelings after coming back from the movie.
Feeling awed and mind-blown from the on screen experience
that is LOTR, but feeling empty because now I know I/we have
to wait for another year to see the next part!
OMG A WHOLE YEAR!
Well, "roll on" the extended DVD version please?

Saw it last night, ten-thirty show I got home at two
something.
Best movie I've seen in a long time though,

Yeah the next should awesome, I heard one of the actors say
the next one is the best, it's when the shit hits the fan.

Fantastic movie!!! =)

Gollum is without a doubt the greatest CGI Animation i have
ever seen.
He looks incredibly real and Andy Serkins did a wonderful
job with his voice and movements.

Agree with xanatos on the love story tho , it feelt a bit
squeced in , a bit to much , they could have toned it down a
bit and made it more subtle like in the books.

Is it FREAKING long though? I'd like the first better if
they took away all the parts that didn't involve evil
monsters/ action... even if the resulting piece lacked a
flowing linear storyline.

creature was wicked. "my preciousss"...

Wow great picture!

He looks so real and the schizophrenic dialoge he has with
himself (gollum vs Smeagol) is so great!!
One thing tho , isn't gollums eyes described as green in the
books ?

It is 3 hours long, but I for example could not feel that
time is passing while watching this movie. At the end, I was
looking around thinking "jesus, is this really ended?" I
could stay there for another 3 hours :)

I JUST saw it... dude, I kept laughing when the trees would
be on, becaus eI kept imagining them as people. Like the one
willow looking one was this tall black guy with dreds,
etc... but yeah it was so amazing. I want to watch it again
and again and...

except that it was super duper awesome very good indeed. it

It did have a lot more then the first one....more story
line.I loved how they all had their own stories. The Trees
were amazing, made it feel like middle earth( I think I
already said this)

But yes this movie was amazing.....wasnt so much like the
book, some lines where given to other people and they jumped
into new characters...it still was an incredible movie....

BEATS!!! star wars!

personally, i really do not like star wars at all :P so imo
it's very obvious how badly this movie beats star wars
hahaha..

It beats the new starwars episodes by miles !!!! George
Lucas could never create anything like this , maybe the
young lucas could but he isn't around anymore is he...
But the old ones have a special place in my heart ,
childhood memories and stuff.

I wonder what next great big movie triology will be ?

I think the colest thing in Two Towers is Gollum!
I can't belive how incredibly well made he is , im
overwelmed!
They MUST get an Oscar for that one!
I also got gose bums when sarumans huge Uruk Hai army stod
outside the walls of helms deep and begun to chant and bang
their feet into the ground.
That explosion in the wall was massive!
Gandalfs fall with the Ballrog was really cool to.
And saurons Orchs are really cool , they come in all shapes
and sizes , the one chasing Merry And Pippin into Fangorn
looks really freaky!!
Well the whole movie was awesome!

The storyline was a bit unstable tho i think , some scenes
felt unimportant.
The whole Aragon/Arwen thing is a sleeping pill.
