Seven Days to Go.
The veiling shadow that glowers in the East takes shape. One week until The Two Towers, and the rave reviews keep on coming. Check out this one, from an ostensibly non-fanboy site. "Whether you liked Fellowship or not, it does not matter. The Two Towers is one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time, and it should not be missed...I cannot give high enough praise to this film. It is the year's best film, and a milestone in cinema history." Phew. I'll be happy if it's as good as Fellowship, which is no small task, particularly considering how TTT is probably my least favorite of the books. At any rate, here's sixteen minutes of footage and a Tolkien-themed crossword puzzle for the rest of you out there who can't wait.
Least favorite? LEAST favorite? Sir, I weep for thee... :-)
TTT his least favorite? The Ents! C'mon, gotta love the Ents. Anyways, that review was just a little too breathless and celebratory for me to take it seriously, but damn, I sure am looking forward to seeing the film. I'm resisting the urge to download the footage so I can enjoy as much as possible "new" on the big screen.
Yeah, I'll stand by it. Love the men-on-a-mission aspect of Fellowship and the apocalyptic gloom of ROTK much better than the Ents and TTT, although of course I love them all. And the best part of TTT is the cliffhanger end, and since that's been kicked to ROTK, I'm curious to see what PJ does with this second installment.
