Peter jackson hasn't even started!! - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Reviews

What a film! I'll have to say that I walked away from this film not as pumped up as I wanted to be, but I tend to set my expectations so high that there is no way they could be met, so I saw it 2 more times and I'm glad I did. This film holds your attention from start to finish, although the little side trip to Osgiliath I felt was unnecessary...really, what did that do for the story? Let us know that Sauron is "closer than we think"? That time could've been used to get a better feel of where Gollum is leading Frodo and Sam. The ending of The Two Towers from the book is by far a more cliffhanger ending and would've taken the breathe right out of the audience had they gone that route, but we would've been sitting in the theater for 4, perhaps 5 hours to get to that, so I understand. All in all, this movie is up there with the greatest...filmmaking doesn't get much better than this. GL needs to take a lesson from Peter Jackson. It's all in the models, George!
