'An attrocious movie which is a despicable insult to a wonderful book' - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'd just like to throw in here that I don't think you can call Two Towers an atrocious movie. It really was an excellent adaptation of an "unfilmable" story, with some changes made to the script, not so much the plot, for the sake of making an excellent film as well as a wicked adaptation. I haven't gone into any depth here, but the only reason you can call the changes made "atrocious" is if you are a hardcore book fan and are overly-obsessed with the exact events of the book on film. The Two Towers was awesome, and any misjudgements on the part of the makers were not horrible.
