Saruman's actor. Christopher Lee was a World War 2 Spy and the guy who inspired the James Bond Character as well as the only actor in Lord of The Rings who met Tolkien in person. He was also in Star Wars and was a Heavy Metal Singer. Quite a Carrer...

Glad to see you kept hydrated throughout the viewing. These films do tend to open up the tear ducts. My favorite part of this film is the performance of Andy Serkis. His portrayal of Gollum/Smeagol is terrifying and heartbreaking. I do have one bone to pick however. As a frequent reader of the trilogy, I'm not happy with the way the character of Faramir is portrayed. I understand the rationalization for changing his character but I still think they did him dirty. Still, a great piece of filmmaking and a great viewing experience to share.

Great reaction! Just thought I would clarify that the flying creatures in this film are not actually dragons. Normally I wouldn't be pedantic about it, but there are actually other magical creatures in the LOTR universe that are called dragons. And they breathe fire and can talk. The beasts in this film are referred to as "fell beasts".

I'm never sure in these reactions if people get the significance of the trees in front of Helm's Deep, where the orc army runs after the battle. These were the company of trees from Fangorn Forest that the Ents sent to deal with the orcs, while the Ents set out for Isengard. If you notice the earlier shots which include the landscape in front of Helm's Deep (such as the grand panorama when the horse Brego brings Aragorn in from the riverside), there are no trees in sight anywhere. Then suddenly once the orc army breaks under the attack of Eomer's company of Rohirrim, they run into a forest that had not been there when they arrived the night before. Of course, all this may be so obvious that no one ever thinks it worth mentioning. Anyway, I thought I would.

Absolutely love these films. They did do some characters dirty like Faramir, Théoden and Denethor in the third one. I know it's done for dramatic reasons, but I hate what they did to Théoden in this film. Going to Helm's Deep and someone going to get help is so clearly the best decision. Actually they make Gandalf look like a moron in the film. I mean if this is the best advice he can give then I don't need his advice. I have to agree with Saruman in this that: "Your love for the halflings leaf has clearly slowed your mind." 300 against ten thousand in some open field. Even Leonidas would say no to that. Then there is Aragorn letting Grima go which so clearly isn't smart. I mean you don't have to kill the guy, but letting him go is jsut plain stupid. Always happy to see Brad Dourif though. As usual he shines as Grima. Bernard Hill's Théoden might my favorite character in the films. Hill does just a fantastic job. Legolas and the olympic torch uruk also pisses me off evrry time I watch this film. Not that Legolas killing him would have prevented some other uruk from picking up the torch and blowing up the wall, but shortly after that Legolas is given this badass scene of riding an effin shield down the stairs and shooting arrows at the uruks at the same time. All the while I'm thinking that you couldn't kill the one uruk that actually mattered. Then there are the Elves at Helm's Deep. I don't care that much that it differs from the book, but Haldir pisses me off also. I mean we saw him in Lothlorien with Galadriel. Then when he arrives at Helm's Deep he brings word form Elrond, but shouldn't he be bringing word from Galadriel instead since he was under her and not Elrond. For you information Ames Treebeard was voiced by John Rhys-Davies who of course plays Gimli. Really love the Aragorn and Arwen relationship as it's portrayed in the films. Love Christopher Lee, but Saruman is just a whiny little bitch isn't he. Lee has just a fantastic voice and love his union of the two towers speech.

“There is some good in this world Mr. Frodo and it’s worth fighting for” As beautiful as the imagery, acting, score, and words are, it’s the heart of these films that endures.

After the first time I saw this, I always skipped the Frodo arc. It's just Frodo, Sam and Gollum bickering and arguing, and boring as hell to me. I think this movie would have been much better without 75% of the Mordor scenes. We will swear to serve Saruman. All they needed was a Klingon knife. A rip off from Star Trek TNG. When the Ent woke up, I was thinking, "You're not in OZ any more Pip." and "Who'd want YOUR apples!" Continuity: Where did Gandalf get the white robe? Where was his hat? Then where did he get is gray robe? Sometimes I notice minuscule details that don't matter, I suppose. People in Europe (well, at least in West Germany when I lived over there) looked down on and frowned at the GIs over there. A few soldiers made a bad reputation for all soldiers over there, and that's sad. Except on the East/West German border. The people there still had family inside the Iron Curtain, and they appreciated us being there. I've always wondered if it's hard to act like a corpse? It seems like you have to lay there without breathing or moving. That could be hard to do. Or do they teach that in acting school? I've always just wondered why they didn't just take the ring with them over the sea to Elf land? Of course, that would have ruined the story, I suppose.

When is the final film coming out I can't wait!

When the orcs were marching on Helms Deep, the thought struck me that Igor said in Young Frankenstein as they were digging up the body, "Well, it could be worse. It could be raining." then it started raining. When Frodo says, "They're here.", that's a line out of the movie Poltergeist. When the army rode down the hill to save Helm's Deep, and the sun was in the Orc's eyes, it reminded me of what the Chief said in Jose Wales. He said, "A man's got to have an edge." Jose Wales also used the sun to his back as an advantage. I wonder if he got the idea of the talking trees (Ents) from the Wizard of Oz and the talking apple trees at the Tin Man's house? It's a shame Jackson left so much out from the books, but if he had added more, each movie would be 8 hours long or more.

As a reminder. From the time stamp above, ‘Tis been 15+ months since we got The Two Towers. Just as a nagging participant here. We’re waiting for the 3rd installment, oh dearest hostess… JS… 🤣❤️😎
