Overall, a good flick, BUT...For the details and quality work done, the movie was surprisingly disappointing (...which comes from setting hopes too high).
Gollum was OK, but given his scale, and his overall look, I almost wonder if he could have been done by someone in make up with secondary camera tricks.
Faramir's changes were not really welcome to me.
The Ents, including their battle, seemed a mere after thought. I never connected. I kept waiting for something special.
The elves showing up at Helm's deep didn't work for me.
Some of the Arwen 'intrusions' worked, others fell flat for me.
Follow Ups:
I guess I'm not as attuned to the written story, it's been awhile. What was your objection to Faramir exactly?Yes, maybe Gollum was a bit too monstrous. He should have looked a more Hobbitlike.
I thought the Gollum got way too much air time.
How many times do we need close ups & dialogue of his monsterous
face. More should have been done with Frodo & Sam's journey.
I enjoyed the first movie more.
