I love the book of the Two Towersbut it's easily the limpest of the films. Unlike Happy Toast I actually like the films (well, until the godawful thirty dreary minutes of false endings in Return of the King) but Two Towers tests me. Particularly the utterly pointless diversion, via a Faramir who bears no resemblance to Faramir, to fucking Osgiliath of all fucking places. First, it makes no geographical sense and fucks up the timescale something chronic. Second, no-one would ever put the ring into Osgiliath -- it would be taken. Third, it's just really badly done.
Fuck that bit of that film.

I agree, there is very little wrong with the films.They're not perfect, but they could and should have been a hell of a lot worse.

Damn straightThings I loved when I saw Fellowship of the Ring: no Tom fucking Bomba fucking dil, the irritating fat cunt who strolled out of a kids' fucking book to pollute my Lord of the Rings; and they didn't hide the fact that in reality orcs would be horrible creatures and it would be an unpleasant world of blood and death.
I might watch those films again :)

As I was only saying this afternoonThe changing of where part 2 ends is an almost criminal perversion of brilliant storytelling.
Giving it an almost happy ending instead of the all is lost, Frodo "dead" Sam crying like a big wuss ruined it completely.
I lost all faith in Peter Jackson at that point. The utterly shit, drawn out ending to part 3 sealed the deal.
