1420!

I think that there are many different reviews out there and some of them represent our varied views about this movie. I think that the main problem PJ is confronted with TTT is that the way he did it doesn't capture the audience. Sure FotR had many criticisms too, but the way PJ did it had mostly every one satisfied and leaving the movies knowing they will love it forever. TTT on the other hand was taken by a very different approach than FotR. The main thing is that he changed it from the book to much. Also some characters were changed more than others. And many more factors contributed to the way TTT turned out. TTT was so varied, it resulted in mixed feelings and different criticisms. I think very few of us will feel almost exacly the same on this movie. And it goes for the people who write out these reviews. They are so varied and diverse. One moment you'll see a review praising gollum, the next one is saying it sucked. It just gets so complicated. And if you see this site, you'll probably agree.<P><A HREF="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/TheLordoftheRingsTheTwoTowers-1118285/" TARGET=_blank>Rotten Tomatoes</A><P>Oh yeah, you can thank Diamond 18 for the link.<P>The farther the movie strays from the book, the more mixed/different feelings there will be.
