Wow.
Just got back from the midnight showing of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. All I can say is, wow. There are going to be a lot of pissed-off diehard Tolkien fanatics out there because of the sheer number of liberties Mr. Jackson took with the story, but what he's come up with is one really impressive high-octane thrill ride. Better than The Empire Strikes Back for "part-two-of-three" movies, in my humble opinion. My only complaint is that the number of helicopter shots in this series is getting excessive, but all things considered it was an incredible flick.
