Sheryl, first of all, hello! I personally have mixed feelings about the film. There are things that I like, and things that I don’t like. If you would like to know more about what other people think about TTT, I would encourage you to look in the TT section of the forum board (if you haven’t done so already) where a lot of people (including myself) have offered their thoughts on the movie. I would also recommend checking out the reviews of TTT, which you can access on the home page (again, if you haven’t already).

Anyway, in regards to your specific question, my two favorite parts are Gandalf fighting with the Balrog, and the breaking of Isengard. I thought these scenes were extremely well done, and in my opinion, were two of the biggest positives of the movie. Also, I would have to say that Gollum is my favorite character in the movie, just because they did such an amazing job with him (I think his character alone makes the movie worth seeing), but Gandalf is my favorite character in the LOTR story overall. I’m sorry your Mom won’t let you see the movie, but I think you are going to have to find a way to sneak it in(sorry Mom).

This thread will be moved to Movies>The Two Towers section in a couple of days, where it can be more readily appreciated.

Hmmm.

My favourite scene I'm not quite sure of because I thought the entire movie was so great. But if I had to pick it would have to be the opening sequence that begins with beautiful picturs of snowy mountains and then it zooms in towards a mountain side and you hear Gandalf's voice saying "You shal not pass...." and then you come in on the same scene that was in FoTR with Gandalf and the balrog on the bridge(just from a different angle) and when Gandalf sais "Fly, you fools!" and lets go of the edge you follow Gandalf down into the darkness an see him fighting the balrog.(wow that was a long scentence) The reason I liked that scene was that I think it was a wonerful way of begining the movie. I was so worried when I sat in the theatre before the movie started. How would they begin the movie, I thought, and pictured the worst ways they could have done it, like a summary of FoTR or a narrator telling us what had happened or something horrible like that... I was SO impressed by the way they had done it!
Gollum/Smeagol argument was also one of my favourites and Gimli's "toss me. But don't tell the elf."

As for favourite character that's EOWYN!! She is just amazing! I want to be just like her!! Miranda Otto does a great job! Gollum comes quite close though(Oscar for Andy!!!)

Definetly Aragorn and Theoden charging out of Helm's Deep!!!!!Hey,!!!Ideea!!!Tell your mom to look round here on the forums-the movie threads-maybe she'll change her opinion.Cause TTT is G-R-E-A-T!

My favourite scene, if I had to pick one, is the opening scene where Gandalf is fighting the Balrog, but the movie is filled with many other wonderful and fantastic scenes.

My favorite scene was when Sam's cooking the stew and all around them you can hear the calls of the Ithilien Rangers sounding like pheasants. It was the anticipation of knowing I was soon going to see how Faramir was going to be portrayed.

They then move to the edge of the rise and see the Haradrim army marching through, oblivious to the fact they are going to be ambushed at any moment. That ambush was brilliant in that you usually don't get to witness an ambush filmed in such a way... you are either setting up the ambush, or you are caught in it, not an innocent by-stander.

My favourite scenes are when Gollum is argueing with Smeagol, When Gandalf the Grey and the Balroq are fighting and the battle at Helm’s Deep. These scenes are great plus many many others.

I’d say it's the scene when smeagle is arguein with him self

I can't decide which scene is my favourite...maybe Helms deep or the scene with the Ents...all I can say is that the movie was GREAT!!!

I just had to say that I think that HOWARD SHORE AND HIS ORCHESTRA IS THE AINUR TRIBUTING IL’VATAR!

I hear ya, Aule. And I agree! Howard Shore outdid FotR on this one, no question!

Well I bought the LotR: TTT soundtrack album and I'm not impressed with the music this time. Maybe I will be when I see the Movie for the second time when the DVDs come out next Autumn. For the present, I'd rather listen to the LotR: FotR soundtrack album.

Oh I'm sorry Music but that scene was so poorly made!!! My jaw nealy hit the floor when I saw it!! Such great specials effects in the rest of the movie and such a poor transformation from old to young(er) Theoden.. You can clearly see the two different shots they used, and they don't even lie correctly on top eacother (especially look at the hair)! But except that and the Saruman flying across the room thing and some wierd hero.music I totally agree with you Music.

I've gotta say, even though my views on the movie has somewhat been dampered since I got here and started talking to Virumor and Ross, I still think it's great. I couldn't have done better myself so I shouldn't complain at all.

My favourite scene.. it's hard to say, I guess it would be every scene were Sm’agol discussed with Gollum. That was just so cute and very, VERY nicely done. Not only the special effects, but the way he changed his facial expression and the voice! WOAW!

Well I bought the LotR: TTT soundtrack album and I'm not impressed with the music this time.

I totally agree with you grondy. I bought the exact same thing and I was not overall pleased with it.

Arwen, I`m really sorry, but Legolas Is the cutest! Aragorn comes second on my list! Don`t you think Legolas is cute? If you don`t, you`re MAD!!!

Oh, just like to say, I saw the film January, I loved it!! LEGOLAS, LEGOLAS, LEGOLAS!
