The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (guest)

MOVIE: Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

GUEST: Philly Mo Dee

NUTSHELL: We finally get to see the Death Star battle hacked off at the end of the first Lord of The Rings Movie. Hobbits, midgets, weird people & Liv Tyler battle evil or just try to survive or are camping in a bad forest or something. I’m really not sure.

GOOD THINGS: Better than the first one. Apparent close adhesion to the books the movies were based on.

BAD THINGS: People in the audience are more geeky than any trekkie I’ve ever met.

FEATURES: More CGI than a Star Wars prequel, but these drones have feelings!

UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS: Audience members wearing hobbit ears. Liv Tyler wearing hobbit ears.

NOTABLE: This movie’s fans make trekkies almost look cool.

BEST PART: Implication of human/hobbit cross-species love.

BEST LINE: By another audience member, about another moviegoer wearing hobbit ears: “Let’s piss him off and call him Spock!”

CROWNS: 4 out of 5
