Shallow and basically insulting to most people's intelligence. Dumbed down in typical American fashion and they try to camouflage it with European experts and a New Jersey raised narrator who woefully attempts a British accent and fails miserably.

I think i'd rather eat a bowl of leeches and bleed to death slowly from the inside rather than sit through that again. I think the Chris O'Donnell et al version was very hollywood, however it had a strong cast and some nifty special effects. this film has a directionless plot, shoddy editing and some of the worst acting i've seen this side of Ben Hur. don't bother with it.

The Lord of the Rings:The Two Towers, simply put, is a travesty of monumental proportions. This may sound like a tired cliche but so is the production of this movie. The sheer arrogance to mess around with the greatest story put to print is unbelievable. The changes in the story and characters go far beyond interpretation and seem to suggest that Mr Jackson simply feels that Tolkien got it wrong. Peter Jackson's movie embodies all the disdain that Tolkien had for Hollywood, but I guess the money makes it easy to live with, and he claims to be a fan. Read the book, miss the film. LONG LIVE THE REAL FARAMIR!
