Oh, it was a great movie!

I saw it yesterday, and dreamed about it all night long...

I gotta say that Gollum's external "internal dialogue" was plain frightening!

But, no spoilage from this cowpoke, go see it as soon as you can!

There were some good points to this movie (Gollum & the Nazgul), and it's certainly better than most in the epic fantasy genre (Conan, etc.)

But...if you are a Tolkien purist, and have not yet seen the movie, try not to set your expectations too high. There are some significant changes to Tolkien's original story line, and not all for the better, in my opinion. So, try not to get TOO excited, or you might be disappointed (as I was).

Of course the movie was good. I expected no less. But IMO the first one was way better. Maybe I am already spoiled by the very high standard they set in the first, but I didn't have that totally blown feeling that I had one year ago.

Well, I really enjoyed it. Storyline changes aside. I was glad to see Haldir and the elves at Helm's Deep :-) Anyways, I though the actor who played Grima Wormtongue was great. Gollum I enjoyed too. I did find the Sam/Frodo bit (ansd the ents) less enjoyable than the action in Rohan, but then I think I thought the same when I read the book. All in all, a great effort, just as good as the first, if a little different.

I should add one thing that I totally enjoyed and that was that the Riders of Rohan are basically Vikings on horses

I enjoyed it much more than the first one, more action and the fights at helms deep was great. Although i seriously doubt the dwarf comedy bits were in the books

Heman, they can't make 2 and then miss out the third book lol, that'd be just mean
