Reply With QuoteYeah, a lot of people would agree with you. The first was 3 hours after they cut an hour's worth of adventures from the book; the second was 3 hours, though I think they were stretching it a bit because the book's shorter than the Fellowship book.
BTW, it's Two Towers. They are definitely not twins.

Lord of the Rings - Two Towers
Ok this movie was a girly sleeper until the huge fight seen at Helms Deep. Holy Crap Saurumon's army looked mean as damn hell, I was scared by the Urukai. And the tree creatures, the Ents, those things were totally Kick Ass when they were throwing boulders all around. But besides that I was struggling to stay awake through those long-winded scenes. Good movie, but I would have cut out about 30 minutes.

When I first saw "The Two Towers" in the theaters, Smeagol stood out as an interesting character because I WORK WITH A PERSON WHO LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE SMEAGOL! The similariity is very disturbing. I thought to myself, did the movie directors speak to this guy at work and use him as a model for Smeagol? To date, I haven't had the heart to tell this guy that he indeed resembles Smeagol.

Smeagol began to take on the same annoying characteristics as Jar Jar. After while he really started to grate on my nerves.

I think he's supposed to, in that he is a personification of the obsessions within the human character, within mine and within yours. He's the part of yourself that you don't like...
I for one wish the movie was longer. They spend a whole lot of time running from here to there and not dealing with the lore and the personalities that make the book a must read again and again. But I guess that's just the difference in the two media...
I repeat myself from a scolded post (being off topic) when I say I am seriously offended that the elves have been portrayed as such fascists. Sorry Elrond, you were better as an enforcer program.
And, as a resident of the impoverished south, I wonder why this thread just started now. What happened to make a 9 month old movie topical?
