Dylan_t_p's Journal: the two towers........

I went to see the two towers tonight and I must say I was very dissapointed, the movie itself was good, it was funny and the fight scenes were done wonderfuly, but as with the fellowship of the rings Peter Jackson decided to screw with the story......Having Aragorn fall from a cliff on the way to helms deep leaving everyone thinking he's dead only to have him return before the battle begins this was forgivable, but then came Faramir in the book Faramir let Frodo and Sam go without much of a fight and he had a much better heart than his brother, but not in Peter Jacksons version instead Faramir wanted to take the ring to Gondor to use it to save the race of men much as his brother had he took Frodo, Sam and Gollum captive and took them towards Gondor where Sam makes this big speach (which was in the book only later on) and Faramir sees that he's wrong and lets them go. Another thing that kinda made me mad Arwen who shouldn't have even been in this movie was in several scenes and will probably return in the next movie even though she's already sailed across the sea.

I liked the movie and I've always liked the books but I was dissapointed by the way they took certain liberties to the script, I'll probably go see it again mainly becuase it was pretty funny and the CGI was absolutly stunning but since I've read the book recently it bugs me a lot the way they've changed the story for someone who's never read the books before this will probably be one of the best movies they have ever seen, for those of us who have read the books since we were little children, it will not be quite as good but it's still worth seeing /rant

I know I'm probably being very nitpicky but it pisses me off that they couldn't leave the story be I should probably read the book again and see the movie one last time before I really judge it but it really didn't meet my expectations, maybe with hollywood I should learn not to set them so high
