First, let me say that I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea. BUT, as a fan of the books, I thought this was done extremely well. I think it may have been better than the first one. An adventure movie (which this is, with some fantasy elements) should sweep you up and leave you breathless, and this one certainly did that. For those of you who have seen it, the lead-up to the battle of Helm's Deep was so good at building suspense, I may have shut off the movie if I would have been watching at home - too intense!

Sure, I could come up with niggling flaws, but overall I was just enthralled. There IS one big question:

Do we REALLY have to wait another year for the next one?
