| The Fellowship has been broken. Boromir (Sean Bean) is dead, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) have gone to Mordor alone to destroy the One Ring, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) have been captured by the Uruk-hai, and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) have made friends of the Rohan, a race of humans that are in the path of the upcoming war, led by its aging king, Théoden (Bernard Hill). The two towers between Mordor and Isengard, Barad-dúr and Orthanc, have united in their lust for destruction. The corrupt wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee), under the power of the Dark Lord Sauron, and his slimy assistant, GrÃma Wormtongue (Brad Dourif), have created a grand Uruk-hai army bent on the destruction of Man and Middle-earth. The rebellion against Sauron is building up and will be led by Gandalf the White (Sir Ian McKellen), who was thought to be dead after the Balrog captured him. One of the Ring's original bearers, the creature Gollum (Andy Serkis), has tracked Frodo and Sam down in search of his 'precious', but is captured by the Hobbits and used as a way to lead them to Mt. Doom. The War of the Ring has now begun... |

Take out 5 chapters, put some made up rubbish in and you have Peter Jackson's The Two Towers
This film isn't just missing small parts of the story; it's missing five
plus chapters!!!
The Fellowship of the Ring pleased me in that apart from small pieces it
stayed, true to the original book. It was, I thought badly directed. I say
this because I believe Jackson is at heart a producer. His organizational
skills are amazing that at least is evident from the sheer amount of info
LOTR holds within its pages. But he has no visual imagination whatsoever.
Fellowship and The Two Towers are badly shot and badly edited. To put it in
short I think Jackson is a second rate director who only got these films
through blind enthusiasm, rather than ethical ability or quality of
work.
The two Towers is an insult to everything Tolkien wrote, Peter Jackson for
some unexplained reason has gone from following the book of FOTR pretty well
to just doing what he wants in TTT. The first half of the film is more or
less true to the book and I was enjoying it. Gollum especially, but about
half way through just after King Theoden and his people left for Helms deep
in anticipation of the attack of Sarumans army, THE STORY WENT OFF THE RAILS
LIKE A SPEEDING TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! With Aragorn falling over the cliff after
the fight with the Wolf riding Orcs (WHICH WASN'T IN THE BOOK) as if that
wasn't laughable enough, then the plot goes off into a dreamland about
Aragorn and Aowhen's (sorry if her names wrong:) love affair and the choices
they must make for the greater good. Well nice try in giving the story more
depth BUT STICK TO THE BOOK!!!!!!
I don't know about any of you but I went to see J.R.R Tolkiens The Lord of
The Rings, not Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings. Ok it's still an
adaptation, but FOTR was more or less the same as the book, why ON EARTH
insult Tolkein's fans and Tolkien himself by taking one of the greatest
works of fiction ever and changing it in any way you want. I think it was an
attempt to fool everyone who haven't got the sense to read the books and
make more cash on the side.
THERE'RE AT LEAST FIVE CHAPTERS MISSING AT THE END OF THIS FILM. Now the
people who I was chatting to today about it said well you cant have it all
in the film it would be about 9 hours long. GRRRRRR! I said the annoying
thing is if Jackson had left out all the rubbish he made up and put in the
parts of the story, which should be there, YOU COULD HAVE FITTED IT ALL IN.
I am of course referring to Shelob the great spider, which bites Frodo and
then Sam takes on the Ring himself and the bookends on a cliff-hanger. He's
chucked that out and put it in the next film, The Return of the King, which
is already the longest book anyway, without putting huge chunks of story in
from the other films.
If you ask me Jackson has quiet literally lost the plot and in some style,
instead of creating a realistic and accurate film on Tolkein's book he's
done what he wants with it and I'm sorry but I think he should be slapped
for even having the nerve!!!!!
The only people who will totally enjoy this film are the ones who haven't
read the books AND SADLY THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM.
BUT I'M DREADING WHAT HE'S GONNA CUT OUT AND EVEN MORE SO WHAT HE INVENTS TO
STUFF INTO THE NEXT ONE....A YEAR OF DREAD IS AHEAD
