The movies are fast on their way to becoming one of the highest grossing movie franchises ever and the third movie isn't even out, so I guess it is a proven commodity, it has been nominated for awards already and is generally loved by fans and critics alike. I really didn't like it at all, now I am sure that I am wrong and stupid and probably mentally handicapped for disliking it (after reading this whole thread it seems not liking this movie means you have to be a complete idiot) but I just did not like the movie, the first movie was awsome and the extended DVD is one of my favorite movies ever, I just didn't like The Two Towers, I can't put my finger on it and I can't point out any specifics that have not been argued into the dirt already. For some reason the movie didn't sit right with me, I don't care about movie deviations from the book, I expect those type of things and in some cases welcome them. This movie just rubbed me the wrong way, it just felt wrong, it was choopy and rough and gave me a headache and I had a hard time feeling anything for characters that I loved from the last movie, some of the characters were good and some got silly and some barely appeared, doesn't matter I just didn't feel drawn in like the last movie did, I tried, I want to love this movie, I want to shower it with praise, I can't think of any logical reason to not like this movie (well except it was edited by hyperactive monkeys, thus the headache) but it just didn't do it for me. I'm sure I'll see it again, I'm sure I'll buy it and I will be there for the next one with out a doubt, I still have high hopes for the next one. obviously I am wrong and misguided here, and I probably have some unknown chip on my shoulder that I haven't recognized yet, I can't back up any points or produce a better script to post here, I am not able to argue with all the professional critics who said it was great and I can't argue with all the people who have all these wonderful highly thought out arguements. All I got is a gut sense that I didn't like the movie, and the headache, you know maybe that is enough, maybe I don't have to prove any points or argue any of it, maybe I can just not like a movie that I felt was flawed. It felt like a piecemeal jigsaw puzzle where the pieces were shoved together whether they fit or not, to me it felt like he needed another couple of months worth of editing and work, sort of like this was only the rough draft. Of course that's just my opinion.EDIT: THe whole Theater erupted in laughter almost every time Gollum came on the screen, I didn't get the joke but the 200 or so people in the theater with me thought he was hilarious.</blockquote>
