I just got back form the midnight showing of The Lord of the Rings – The two towers and I have to fully indorse it for anyone who liked the first movie, or the books.
The movie strays form the books more then the first, and the third, (so I heard) but at the end of the film you can see why they did what they did. (And they pull it off). The Effects are downright amazing and Gulum is buy far the most believable digital character ever. (Can he get a Oscar?)
I am sure there will be many a review and bitching about TTT but for my two cents, big thumbs up!
As a long time Tolkien Fan, who’s life dream is to do the Tolkien Calendar some day. I know my Tolkien and I can’t imagine make a better movie version of these books. Can’t wait for the Return of the King. It will be a long year….
