Basically, needed a forum so that I can say "ACK?!" after seeing The Two Towers last night. (What HAVE they done!) It's hard to know whether it is more painful to have the story done as a cartoon or as a serious, but also seriously rewritten, movie. Fellowship was a bit off the mark, (ie Gandalf going to consult Saruman, ouch), but beautiful. The Two Towers....if I didn't know the story I might have enjoyed it, but as it was a couldn't help shaking my head the whole time.<P><BR>Who was that guy masquading as Faramir?<BR>When did Eomer ever get exiled? I don't remember that!<BR>Frodo was losing it in a big way, when he seemed to become steely than mad in the book<BR>("lost it" very infrequently).<BR>What happened to Eowyn's remoteness?<BR>What was that Aragorn floating down river thing.<BR>What was that whole Arwen thing?<BR>What was that Legolas getting up on the horse in a rather impossible way thing???<p>[ January 10, 2003: Message edited by: Hilde Bracegirdle ]
