[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 1274579, member: 1013"] I'm waiting to hear what the two friends I have say about it after seeing it last night. I know the one will gush non stop, he thinks these movies are the greatest thing ever. But then he's never read the books. The two reviews in the paper today were mixed. The main review said it's a great movie, but it needed a few coats of post-modern paint to get a larger role for women and bullcrap like that. Yeah, PJ should have re-written the story even more than he already did... :rolleyes: The reviewer had never read the book either. Now the reivew by the guy who has read the book sounded like me discussing the Two Towers, he has trouble with the butchered characterizations. He points out problems with Arwyn, Elrond, Sam & Frodo, Theoden, & others. He claims it's a good movie but diverts from the book too much and leaves too much out of the story. Well I don't pay much attention to reviews but I get the feeling I'll be like the second guy after seeing the movie. The Two Towers damaged my lust for the next movie as it is. I'll probaly wait a while before seeing it, but I may hold out for the EE, if that's possible for me. [/QUOTE]
