Am I the only person here who was a bit disappointed in the Two Towers? I mean, most of it didn't even follow the book. It was great and everything, but I would've liked to see Shelob. And Faramir seemed like a jerk in the movie compared to the book. Does anyone agree with me on this?

sorry but i very much so disagree the shelob scene adds a great beginning action sequnce then followed by the battle of the pellenor fields i think peter jackson made the right decision plus i think the cliff hanger at the end with gollum sharing his plan but not telling what was going to happen or where he would lead sam and frodo was a great place to end it will bring people back to see the return of the king sides the battler ofhelms deep already had me breathless i was in awe when i saw that the only thing that i was dissappointed with was the boxoffice performance by tt it kinda sucked only 340 million i figured at least 370 or 360 but oh well its life

You like Frodo, Legolas, Marry and Pippin, the LotR movies are just filled with eye candy for you aren't thay . I can only think of one part that doesn't have one of the four of them in it. That is that part with Gandolf and Saruman fighting, now that I think about it hate that part in FotR, I always fast forward it or get a drink or snack during it. So I guess I need one of the four of them doing something to make me watch the movie also .

Sorry but I disagree that holding the shelob seen back was better. There is more then Jackson needs in each book to make a great movie. Some parts I can't belive he put in, and others I can't belive he took out. But now I will go back to saying why shelob should have been in TTT. I have two kinds of firends, thous that have read the books, and thous that have not. Most of my firends that have not read the books left FotR saying to me "Oh my Gandolf is dead, Gandolf couldn't be dead, is he ???" It was great they couldn't wate to see TTT just becase of that. I saw this happen with Gandolf, Frodo has a much bigger fan bace, Not to be mean to Gandolf fans but from what I see and hear more people like Frodo then Gandolf, true LotR fans like both as charters in the story. What I'm saying is I have seen websites with people saying how much they love Frodo, and Frodo is the Lord of the Rings after all. In the books you think at the end of TTT that shelob killed Frodo, and Sam doesn't know what he is going to do alone out there in the middle of the drak ork land. I know that twist make me open RotK the minute I was done reading TTT. Just from the shock it gives you and thinking to your self "Now what?". Anyone that has seen the other two movies, will most likely see RotK (I know I'm going to see RotK). But the more hooked people are the more they love the story, seeing Frodo and Sam walking throw the sunny woods while Gollum tells you how "she" will get them is one thing. Seeing Frodo pale, bleeding, and all messed up on the floor of some dark spirder cave, Sam all sad and lost, and gollum long gone because his plan back fired on him, at this minute when you have the audence holding there breath the screen goes black and TTT is over, Can you picture what a cliff hanger that would be to the movie, It would be like the "Luke I am your father" part of the starwars movies.

I think they did the best they could with big talking trees, to be honest I was hopeing that they would look bird like. I don't know about you but I rember the books making them look somewhat like a bird, that's why in the books it isn't weard thay they can fly around, they look kind of like a bird-tree thing, right? Over all I think they did a great with the ents for something that has never been in a live action movie before. I just wish that they could have got a different actor for the voice, I mean wasn't one part anought for that guy?????

I liked the Ent that put out the fire in his "hair." That was SO COOL. It was a lot better than the cartoon and the Ents did a chorus line.

Also watching Frodo lose it and attact Sam, and then drop his sword like a Rightious Man was VERY cool.

I wanted to read the book version, but movie version was WAY cooler.

Also when Frodo sees the Darkness in him in the Dead Marshes. How cool is Huck Finn REALLY getting in touch with his DARK SIDE.
