   LOTR
  I looked around and I can''t believe their isn''t already a post about this yet!My local theatre had a midnight showing of The Two Towers, so I''m assuming others did too. If anyone saw it, how was it? Good? Really good? Awesome? Like touching the face of God?  
  Yeah, I wondered too why there weren''t any threads about it yet. I just saw it - I think it was great. They have taken more liberties in relation to the book this time, but then again, Tolkien wasn''t in the movie script writing business. I think Jackson et co did a pretty good job of transforming a very complex story into something that actually works on the big screen.    For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can''t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don''t remain stone- written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us -- Charles Bukowski;quote:Original post by Arild Fines  I just saw it  So, was Arwen at Helm''s Deep or not?    ;  No. And she didn''t get into any swordfights either - don''t worry.

If that bitch Liv Tyler had her way, she'd not only have single-handedly beat the entire orc army at Helm's Deep, but she'd also take out Sauron for good in the next movie.

And I really had to pee at the time ;  Aww man, that ruled so much. Original plan was to see it 3 times today but it twas only the once. I am lost for words, it wasn''t best movie of all time but it was pretty damn up there on the list. My advice, go see, now, NOW    When we fall, earth will die, sun will set, and moon will shine, and the only image will be the Raven''s shadow in your eyes. So it is written, so it shall come to pass.Quoth the Raven, nevermore...;  I just saw it too, and I thought it was excellent. There were only a couple of diversions from the book that I noticed, and they were minor. They kept the best bits of the dialogue in too. The plot seemed to jump around quite a lot between the different characters, but then it''s like that in the book too, so I''m not complaining. My only slight critisism is maybe the film was too short; there were a few times where the dialogue just seemed to be cut short, particularly when Frodo meets Faramir, for example. An extra 20 minutes would have made a lot of difference.Now, if you''ll excuse me, I have to go into hibernation for 12 months or so.____________________________________________________________www.elf-stone.com;  I liked a lot of itThey had lots of Smeagol/Gollum which was cool, lol @ when he went all schitzo when frodo and sam were sleeping. Some of the bits which were supposed to be funny were a bit :S like when Sam and gollum were arguing about chips, the kids found it hilarious though.Gimli on the other hand, BAHAHAHA he was so great, particularly at Helms Deep.some bits were a bit different though, I noticed they had changed a lot of the Ent bits, and wern''t they supposed to drive the Saruman forces back into the forest of Ents? I know they kinda retreated but all the Ents did was surround Orthanc tower.And also :O at the beasts the black riders/ringwraiths rode, it was a long time since I read The Two Towers, can anyone remind me of what they were called?But anyway, great film, if you havn''t seen it, go see    When we fall, earth will die, sun will set, and moon will shine, and the only image will be the Raven''s shadow in your eyes. So it is written, so it shall come to pass.Quoth the Raven, nevermore...
