How long is lotr two towers
But if you prefer fantasy films with a contemporary edge then you'll probably enjoy the Harry Potter series which are much more enjoyable that you may suppose.
Not So Great For: fans of Harry Potter or Twilight, people with short attention spans, people without an HD TV at home What else should I watch?Īll three films in the series are equally as enjoyable and breath-taking and continue to set standards for cinema in general, even today. Great For: fantasy geeks, fans of cinema, New Zealand natives, fans of the books It's never boring but I struggled to follow the plot at times, although readers of the book shouldn't suffer too much (I only read the books after seeing the films so there!). The film also suffers from variations in pacing - Frodo and Sam's tale felt like it takes a lot longer than the other narrative featuring Aragorn and the others while Merry and Pippin's encounter with Treebeard is painfully slow. Obviously being the second of three movie, The Two Towers suffers by not having a really punchy beginning or by having a definite conclusion - it simply feeds into the next film. But frankly, it's too good to watch to get that upset - I wasn't. Purists might also take umbrage with the many fight scenes which aren't afraid of using modern choreography such as Legolas surfing down some stairs on a shield. Again, this may infuriate Tolkien purists but it's understandable given the film's pacing. The film takes some liberties with the source material, more so than the first film did. It involved so many extras and took so long that T-shirts were produced for the cast that read "I survived Helm's Deep!"
Seconds earlier, he kicks a helmet in frustration and broke two toes but continued to act through it.
