Welcome to BigScreenBiz.com

This series just gets better and better as it goes! I must admit that there are a few things that happen in this last installment that are not present in the book. But that isn't really worth mention unless your one of those people who love to pick everything apart for the sake of just doing so. Frodo and Sam have done some growing since we last saw them and Merry and Pippin's rally to the Tree Ents was great. I am looking forwards to the last installment with high expectation.

me too. And now they say that they will be doing a Hobbit prequel!

Impresario

This movie was by far better. I think people coming out of it were as pleased as I was. LOTR 2 Towers has it all.....Action, Romance, Drama, Special effects, Characters with depth, and an outstanding climax. This film also leaves the audience with a better sense of closure as opposed to "Fellowship".
Not often do commercial film-makers put forth the effort that was displayed in this film, and thats why I feel the LOTR trilogy may go down as the greatest thus far.

I think a big reason for the the great success of this film has do with the fact that they filmed the whole movie at once rather then waiting a year to each movie as others have done in the past. This kept the enthusiasm at a high that I don't think would have been attained otherwise.

I think it makes a huge difference as well that the director actually wanted to do this and had a genuine passion for the material. I think we all wondered how this could be massacred in the wrong hands -- the best part is that LORD OF THE RINGS feels almost nothing like a typical Hollywood movie and absolutely nothing like the usual adventure / buddy picture. The jokes are minimal and special effects never overshadow the story.
