I've watched "The Two Towers" this morning...
and I must say that I'm a huge fan of The LOTR : in fact, I booked my tickets three months ago...hehehe
I haven't been disapointed at all by this second episode.
The Ents seem so real, and are phisycally really close from the Tolkien text.
Helms' deep is fantastic, and is 48 minutes long !!!
The actors are all fitting very well to the new characters, in my opinion (Grima, Theoden, Eowyn, Eomer, Faramir...)
Of course - and that's why the "Two Towers" is really good - this second movie is way darker than the previous one.
For example, Frodo really seems to be torn apart by the power of the ring, which is a very important point in the book, I think.
@Sol 83 : it is deffo a question of taste : for instance I'm searching for movies that make me dream, I like to watch beautiful landscapes and beautiful costumes...I like fairy tales and all of that. So if you don't like irrealistic movies, just don't go and watch it, it's even more irrealistic than the previous one !!
