Default Re: OT: The Two Tower.

spoiley below:

i have not seen it yet, but plan to in the next couple of days. some things i hear sort of distress me, so i am going to keep my expectations low, and try to view it as its own movie unrelated to the books.

the hobbits had to beg the trees for help? in the story, the trees were pretty ready to go, they just needed to take some time to talk to each other about it. it probably just took a couple days for treebeard to explain the whole thing to the rest of the ents..

aragorn fell off a cliff? what?

faramir (spelling?) tried to steal the ring? what?

they ended it before breaking sauramans staff, and retrieveing the seeing stone?

they ended it before getting sam and frodo past the spider (and frodo appearing to be dead? that was the fricking cliff hanger!)

a winged nazgul attacked someone? huh?

there was bickering between arawyn (spelling?) and agent smith? eh?

aragorn was tempted by elowyn (spelling?)? the first thing he said to her in the book, was 'sorry, im taken.'

so, it sounds like a lot of sillyness was put in. and it sounds like they ended it VERY early. whats going to be left for the return of the king? are they going to cut out everything after the battle at the gates of morodor? they have to show everyone but Arawyn leaving on the ships.. they have to show sam settling down. they cant cut that stuff out. are they going to leave out aragorn leading the army of the dead?

its going to take at least an hour of the thrid film to catch up to where they should have been at the end of the second film, and that is leaving me with alot of doubts about how the third movie is going to be. especially with what i hear has been butchered in the second movie.
