Le Seigneur des Anneaux II, Les Deux Tours [Version longue] - Édition Spéciale 4 DVD

After seeing the FOTR, which was nearly flawless in my opinion, I eagerly looked forward to 'The Two Towers'. After all, since the entire trilogy was filmed all at once, how could TTT go wrong when FOTR was so right? But unfortunately, it seems that Peter Jackson's team radically deviated from the book with mixed results.
Many Tolkien purists decry the change in Faramir's character, but Frodo and Sam's encounter with Faramir as written in the book probably would not have translated as well onto film. The episode in Tolkien's book is rather talky, with Faramir interrogating the hobbits like a courtroom attorney in a trial. Having Faramir carrying off the hobbits and Gollum to Osgiliath adds more tension and conflict to the story and works better on film. Besides, when the Nazgul sees Frodo in Osgiliath with the ring, it naturally leads Sauron to believe that the ring is being taken to Minas Tirith, thus encouraging his attack on the city.
Another alteration to the story that Tolkien purists hate is having Haldir and a contingent of elves fight at Helm's Deep. Personally, I thought the idea was rather novel, but as other critics have pointed out, how could the elves have traversed the distance from Lorien to Helm's Deep ahead of the Uruk-hai when Isengard is much closer to Rohan? Hopefully, Peter Jackson will address this in his commentary on the forthcoming TTT:Extended Edition dvd. With regard to the Ents, it does seem illogical on the face of it for Treebeard to suddenly want to attack Saruman after seeing the damage his orcs have wreaked on Fangorn forest when Treebeard was already aware that this was happening. But as with the changes to Faramir, having the Ents quietly deliberate among themselves and deciding to go to war would not have the same dramatic impact on the screen.
The changes from the book that do bother me is the exorcism performed on Theoden by Gandalf, as well as Theoden's behavior afterwards. For all of its flaws, the animated version of LOTR was truer to the book with regard to the Rohan portion of the story, and it worked much better, whereas this part of the film in TTT was somewhat muddled. For this reason, I give TTT 4 stars instead of the five I gave for FOTR.
The digital creation of Gollum works very well in TTT, in spite of the fact that Gollum does not look 100% real, Andy Serkis does a great job in creating a character that you can't help but feel for. On the other hand, the Nazgul in TTT do not seem all that scary. We see Faramir's soldiers cringe from them in fear, but they do not do anything apart from flying around on their winged dragons and screeching. In the books, the terror they instill is palpably felt by those around them, which is hard to convey on film. Hopefully we will get to see them in action in ROTK.
Viggo Mortenson's Aragorn is slowly beginning to accept his destiny as the heir of Isildur, with him taking a commanding role in the Helm's Deep battle. The friendship between Legolas the Elf and Gimli the Dwarf grows stronger, and while Gimli becomes something of a comic relief in TTT, John Rhys-Davies still makes him a likeable character. In TTT, we also see the ring beginning to take its toll on Frodo, and his identification with Gollum's plight puts him at odds with his faithful friend Sam.
TTT is a visually stunning film, and the Helm's Deep battle, while perhaps a little too long, is truly awesome. The New Zealand landscape works to great effect in the movie, with the snowcapped peaks a sight to behold. Howard Shore also has created another excellent score, as he did in FOTR, and I play the TTT soundtrack on my CD player constantly.
But I am holding out for the extended dvd in November. There will be flashback scenes with Faramir, Boromir and Denethor that will help put Faramir's actions with Frodo into context, plus I am sure a lot of people want to hear Peter Jackson's commentary explaining why he made the changes that infuriated so many Tolkien fans. But if you are happy with the theatrical version of the film and don't want to sit through hours snd hours of documentary about how everything in the film was created and how the cast became such great buddies, then this two disc set is for you.
