The first epic was shattered by the second

The biggest change in the second part is the multi-line narrative, which makes the story chaotic. The main thing is based on this team, the soldiers are divided into three groups, all the way to Modo, all the way to the Shuren, all the way to the Khan Kingdom, so many intersections, the whole plot looks like a TV series. Not movies.
All the tension comes from the cross-editing, and the charm of the film itself, the tension of the characters, have been edited to reduce.
Of course, the plot is getting more and more jumbled. The myth in the first step is completely gone. The last three battles were too much to talk about. The so-called epic, if the enemy is so stupid and incompetent, then it is not called an epic at all.
The most outstanding character is the Guru, the split dialogue between good and evil, especially interesting. The other characters are very flat, and it's boring to watch too much. Even our two protagonists don't have many character changes, which is not interesting.
The most interesting thing is that they are all able to come back from the dead, and they are so nonsense that they are completely unprepared.

    The extended version (the ending subtitles are only twenty minutes long) is actually four hours! Live from seeing 12 o'clock after dinner! But this movie is really passionate. The first movie mainly introduces the background and characters that lead to insufficient action scenes. This movie is all made up. Every time Gandalf appears, it makes people want to cry, laugh and scream! There are also cute Lego models in the last canyon castle battle~

    [Replay on April 23, 2021] I bought tickets for three consecutive days to make up for the regret that I didn't watch it in time due to SARS (although I saw it in the theater in July of that year). The battle of Helm's Deep is really the best war plot in a movie of its kind. Whether in terms of rhythm or emotion, hope in despair is what makes LOTR move people. In the contemporary era when nature is further away from mankind, Treebeard sees Fangorn's roar when the fringe is devastated, which brings more resonance than before, and hopes that all ugly things made by humans can be destroyed as quickly as Saruman's industry and machinery. .

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers quotes

  • [Frodo and Sam have captured Gollum. Sam is violently dragging Gollum with a long piece of rope around his neck]

    Gollum: [wailing piteously] Aghh! It burns! It burns us... It freezes...

    [Sam jerks the rope, causing Gollum to topple. Sam drags Gollum, who grabs a rock and grabs the rope, pulling it back]

    Gollum: [to Sam] Nasty elves twisted it! Take it off us!

    Sam: Quiet, you!

    [Gollum lets out a high-pitched wail as he throws a temper tanturm, complete with convulsion]

    Sam: [to Frodo; exasperated] It's hopeless! Every orc in Mordor is going to hear this racket! Let's just just tie him up and leave him.

    Gollum: [horrified] NO! That would kill us! KILL US!

    Sam: That's more than you deserve!

    Gollum: Agggghhhhhhahhhh...

    [Gollum flops on his back as he continues to throw a mini-tantram]

    Frodo: Maybe he does deserve to die. But now I see him, I do pity him.

    [Gollum stops convulsing and looks up at Frodo]

    Gollum: We'll be nice to them, if they be nice to us. Take this off of us... We swear to do whatever you wants... we swear.

    Frodo: There is no promise you can make that I can trust.

  • [Gollum has Sam in a headlock. Frodo jumps to Sam's rescue and points his sword at Gollum, who looks at it in terror]

    Frodo: [about his sword] This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you... Gollum?

    Sam: [choking] ugh!

    Frodo: [sternly] Release him, or I'll cut your throat!

    [Gollum does so. Frodo continues to pin him down Gollum's pupils widen as he squeaks faintly]

    Gollum: [crying in defeat] EEEEYAHHHHHHH!
