Now that I have my English skills back, I would like to say that I thought that "The Two Towers" was better than "The Fellowship of the Ring". I think that what you have to do is not really go in prepared to compare it to the books. I went in looking for it to be a good <I>movie</I> with the same basic messages. And, guess what? Even though it was not exactly like the book in every aspect, it kept the same basic themes and ideas and messages. And it was a very well-put-together movie, and the cast and crew worked very, very, very hard on it (Viggo almost drowned making it for goodness sakes), and it turned out amazing (especially Gollum). I just wish they didn't mar the name "Haldir" for me forever. I tear up whenever I see the name now...
