My wife and I walked out after an hour, not wanting to see one more ugly thing. Grief, it assualted our senses.
I'm one who thought the first installment should have been Picture of the Year, and perhaps this one will be. We'll probably give it another chance with our sons when they get here.------------------------------ Jerry B. Jenkins

The Two Towers book was my least favorite of the triology because of all the fighting and gruesome detail.
I haven't seen the movie yet. (We promised our son and daughter we wait for their Christmas visit and see it together) but the trailers and reviews seem to show that the film is following the book.

| It's a great film, it will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is much more fighting and stuff, but it really is worth it. I just saw it today, or yesterday, it's 1:00 a.m. now I think:D.But it is VERY different from the first one. It's the best movie of all time!!!Now we have to wait a year to see the next one.Sigh. Oh well. ------------------------------ †Jesus Lives On†

| I agree there were many ugly things in it... But isn't that how Tolkien described these things... JUst like there is a lot of violence and stuff in the Left Behind books... If they are accurately portrayed in film form, they will be just as graphic and hideous as LoTR... In my opinion these movies have been the best adaptation from a book that I have seen... as well as Black Hawk Down... OH yeah... I saw Gangs of New York last night, and although there was some seemingly unnecessary sexual content, it was an amazing film... ------------------------------ Only a fool looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart. - Everitt McGill (O Brother, Where Art Thou?)

Mr. Jenkins,
you said you walked out, but exactly "assualted" youe senses. I mean was it the Orc or the fighting? If it was the Orc well...they don't look any different from part one.
I am not putting you down or anything but I just wanted to know what exactly you didn't like. I loved it. I thought it was even better then the first one.

I really enjoyed it!!!!! It was a quick 3 hours. And it ended with more hope than it started with.
The Gollum character - did they ever do a great job with that! All that was missing was the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. :)------------------------------ John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

| I saw the movie twice already, and I have to tell you, I liked it better the second time around. I really liked hoe they did Gollum/Schmegal. ------------------------------ My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

| We probably shouldn't have gone at midnight and sat next to the giant speakers. I usually don't mind loud -- in fact I prefer it to missing one syllable --- but for whatever reason, we weren't in the mood for that much noisy unrelentless ugliness. We'll definitely give it another chance. ------------------------------ Jerry B. Jenkins
