Summary: Sequel flop? I think not!!
Review: It might be hard to believe, but the second installment in Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings" series, "The Two Towers", is just as good (and maybe even better) than the first! The highly acclaimed and Academy Award nominated sequel to "The Fellowship of the Ring" wows audiences with its suspenseful plot, dazzling special effects, and epic battle sequences, while entertaining movie-goers young and old. Unlike the first, "Two Towers" presents a whole new side to the story, as Frodo, the willing ring-bearer, and Sam, his trusty sidesick, are separated from the rest of the group. Those who have read the books and those who haven't will enjoy the terrific acting put on by Elijah Wood (Frodo), Viggo Mortenson (Aragon), and Ian McKellan (Gandalf). If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on one of the biggest blockbuster hits of all time! I totally recommend it! Buy it today!

Summary: WOW what an improvement.
Review: I liked the fellowship extented version but not regular. Not that it wasn't long enough butit makes no sense unextented. Its just poitnless violence. But not the two towers. Great for partys or to show to people and stuff.

Summary: Mixing the books and the films.
Review: I have read all of the books and agree there are little changes here and there between the books and the movies. The books have become a basis for the story line and any deviation from the story line can alter what Tolkien's intents were. (You can see this from all of the prints that had to be done, as the publishers kept making their own changes.)Though where I stand on the art of filmmaking versus the accuracy of the adaptation of the books is a middle road. The book is a tool for the imagination where as a movie is used to intrigue the audience and to stimulate visually. It is obvious that the movies are a big hit. I've seen in the theater - The Two Towers six times and The Lord of the Ring nine times and everytime it is a thrill because you just can't find a story line as brilliant as this or an adaptation as splendid. Most changes were subtle and threw in an interesting twist that was unexpected for anyone who knows the books. This is nice to watch the unexpected. I only have one gripe about the changes made and this is the portrayal of Faramir and the relationship established with Frodo. You do not see the wit and strength that each character has within. Granted in a three hour movie it is hard to portray this idea, but less addition of material would have ment a more accurate account of Tolkien's story. As I said before, it is not done in poor favor. However, we are now talking about an adaptation which then becomes Jackson's account of his ideas and his visions from when he read the books. I admit, I fancy his views and don't think I could have came up with such intricate details. I had the basics from the book, but he brought it to life and made you love the characters even more so by showing the the emotional involvement, humor, and the personalities of each individual. The cast also had a hand in this, and is fabulous in their own right using their own ideas of what they thought the characters would do and how they would look in certain situations. This is the art of adaptation and splendor of filmmaking. Do not be swayed by the changes that have been made, but accept both the book and the movie for what they are - works of art in which each person takes with them their own interpretations and opinions. You do not have to feel the same way as I do or as anyone else does. Summing up this review I would say enjoy it for what it is - entertainment and an escape from life as we know it for three hours. Consider now giving yourself a chance to come up with your own conclusions.

Summary: Jackson Does it Again
Review: Peter Jackson's(director) latest installment in the blockbust lord of the rings series "The Two Towers" is an incredible sequel to an amazing movie. Rarely does a sequel surpass the original, but this movie certainly does. The movie transitions seamlessly from the first, following frodo and sam in the mountains where they meet up with gollum, who serves as their guide on their journey to morodor. Incredible animation brings gollum to life, at first I was amazed at what a great job the animators did with gollum, but by the end of the movie, I saw him as just another character, I had forgotten he was computer animated.
For those that have read the book, this movie may prove to stretch a tad further from jrr tolkiens writings than the first, but it is enjoyable none the less. With the introduction of many new characters and creatures, Jackson's crew seems to hit the nail on the head with each actor/animation. The infamous ents are incredibly well done, and as the march of the ents begins, the viewer will most certainly get a rush of adrenaline, as the readers do when tolkien described it. The greatest scene in this movie is by far the battle of Helm's deep.
You must get this movie, if you like the first movie, youll love this one, and its guaranteed to leave you lusting for the third film, which hits theaters this december, and let me tell you, im counting the days, and so will you.
