Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

Suffers from the fact that two of the main story lines pale significantly in comparison to the Rohan/Helm's Deep arc. It feels a bit like the Scooby Doo episodes where they divide up the group "Scooby and Shaggy go this way, the rest of us will go that way..." and I always wondered why they didn't send somebody competent along with the two dolts. Well, with Legolas, Aragorn & Gimli as traveling companions, they've got competence to spare, but leave the other factions sorely lacking. Still, moved the story along nicely and made me eager for the last installment.

B+
