The Two Towers (2002): slightly less good than Fellowship, but still very strong and a decent adaptation of the source material. It does feel like a lot of talking followed by a lot of fighting, but it looks amazing. Bernard Hill as Theoden is very good, and Miranda Otto as Eowyn is surprisingly good too. The struggle in Rohan is interesting, but the elf bits really drag. I still have the feeling that Middle Earth (presumably meant to be the size of Europe) is about as big as Wales. Andy Serkis is excellent as Gollum.
I do wonder what the candidates who failed the interview for Chancellor of Rohan were like, given what Grima Wormtongue is like.
