I did not like the movie too much. It was not bad, but the first part was really much better. There have been many unsatisfying scenes at the 2 towers so I dont think I will see it a second time. (maybe as DVD)
The fellowship was a milestone in cinema, but the 2 towers was at best average. I am no Tolkin buff, but there have been too many changes to the books and some of them have been unnecessary.
Also some scenes have been not fully authentic (just one arrow is enough to distract a Nazgul and his mighty beast from getting the ring? Whats this?) I also hate the concept of the usual "funny person" (in this film it was gimly) but maybe this is due to the fact that I am normally watching more european movies than hollywood movies.
Another bad scenes have been
-the attack of wormtonques bodyguards and the following karate session of gimli, aragorn and legolas. (ridicolous...)
-legolas surfing down the stairs and shooting 3 orcs (maybe I am too old for this kind of "fun")Next film we see Gandalf on a white mountain bike
- elves are shooting from behind the helms deep wall without seeing the heavily armored orcs (only vulnerable at the neck and under the arms)and there have been so many hits?
And so on...
On the other hand some scenes have been very good. Gollum was the best actor in this movie and the attack of the wargs has been sensational (but unnecessary for the story). I liked also the gate of Mordor scene and the mumakils with their 4 tusks. Some changes of the books have been good(Gandalfs exorcisting the king) and the ents great attack of Isengard (but why did Saruman not defend with magic?)
