They were showing The Two Towers on telly today, and I made a somewhat feeble attempt at watching it.
I used to think that the movies were good entertainment, and a nice homage to the books... and that would be it. As an adaptation, I have always found them infuriating and weird.
What struck me today, is that these movies haven't aged as well as I would have thought. A great deal of their appeal back then, was the amount of attention that had gone into detail and the breath taking landscapes... yet this time around it did not seem overly impressive.
I guess I have just grown accustomed to picturesque cinematic experiences.
