Alright, "I've seen the elephant," as they used to say.
Strong: Opening scene, Gollum, Eowyn (Miranda Otto, hubba-hubba!), and Gandalf's reinvigoration of Theoden... Basically, whenever the film sticks to the book.
Weak: Jackson's surprising changes, whole-cloth inventions, and decision to end his second film in the same place where Bakshi ended his first.
A stunning fantasy movie well worth the price of admission-- but Tolkien's The Two Towers it ain't.
