See the Two Towers.
Then see it again.
I know you're going to see it (unless you have absolutely no interest in fantasy), but really, I mean, SEE it.

Breath taking, epic, exhausting, touching.

Incredible.

even if you don't like fantasy, see it.

it's that good.

btw, someone mentioned at the theater that the wiseasses in the crew slipped in some action figures in random scenes and jackson didn't see them when they were cutting the film. there was too much going on and too many pretty things to look at. i didn't spot any if they're in the movie.

there's an interesting piece in Wired about how advanced the Lord of the Rings battle AI is. Apparently, every Uruk-Hai and Rider in the Battle of Helm's Deep is a relatively autonomous CGI actor that is basically deciding to attack, defend, parry and thrust on its own initiative. I'm now imagining a LOTR-modded copy of Age of Mythology with really good graphics.

yeah. very true. i knew beforehand that the battles were going to be computer generated. i tried to pick out when who were/weren't generated. honestly, you can't tell.
