The Two Towers

saw it last night, sold out theatre.

I was, and it pains me to say this, disappointed.

I am a book fan, and what I liked about FotR was where it was true to the book.

Little is true to the book in TTT.

Were it me directing this film, I would not (NOT!) have done a CGI Gollum, and I would have made the Frodo/Sam journey the bigger part of the movie. The battles would have been backdrops interspliced into their quest, not the other way around.

Parts I did like: The Dead Marsh, the interplay between Gimli and Legolas at Helm's Deep, the battle of the Ents.

I am not likely to watch this one over and over as I have the first. Maybe the 'director's cut' will be better.
