hkellickSo, I've just woken up about an hour ago.
The movie was... fantastic *.*. I wish to see it again.
Having seen Fellowship of the Ring, I had some idea of what to expect. I knew that the movies were... epic in scale, beautiful as hell and well acted.
Anyways, knowing what to expect in scale and vastness and beauty, I kept an eye on the plot. At the end of this movie, I DID have some nits to pick. They definately hollywood'ized the movie. I thought it was overly angsty, personally. Yes, I understand, big burdens.. fate of the world riding on your shoulders, but nerrrrr...
On the other hand, the comedy was amusing. And there was a fair smattering of it.
For those of you detail sticklers, Two Towers does not stick to the second book as well as Fellowship of the Ring did. As I said, it's been hollywood'ized.
On the other hand, if I move away from the book (which is a fantastic story but a TOUGH read) and look at the movie by itself, it was... epic. It was... bloody awesome!
I think my family is talking about going to see it on Christmas, and I'm thinking I might try to go catch it in the IMAX theatre (WUBBA! ehehehehe!).
Anyways, it's a great movie and you shall all truly enjoy! XD
