| | The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers |
| | Ignited by Frodo’s kindness to him, one that is contrasted with Sam’s nastiness, Gollum is in an intense battle between two opposing personalities residing in his single body, the one that wants the ring and the one that wants the love and companionship that has eluded him for centuries. | | | Also, Gondor warrior Faramir (David Wenham) is a lot more like his brother Boromir, who perished at the end of the first installment, instead of his own man. This results in his dragging Frodo and company to the battle of Osgiliath, an event mentioned in the books but at which no major character participates. | | | Jackson departs from the book by incorporating an unnecessary battle with orcs and warg wolves just to enhance a subplot between Aragorn and Éowyn (Miranda Otto), the niece of Rohan’s King Théoden (Bernard Hill). |

| | For example, Faramir's character was reduced to a bad copy of Boromir, and in my opinion, everything that made him noble and respectable in the book was removed in the film. | | | There were few mistakes that really bothered me. They did take lines from Denethor and gave them to Faramir, and I don't think the part with Aragorn "dying" was necessary. | | | There isn't time for the last chapters of either storyline, but there is time for Aragorn to fall over a cliff and drift down a stream. |

| | The result is that you see three battle scenes in the same time, and that’s absolutely amazing. | | | After leaving the Movie theater, the first thing you’ll be wondering about is the CG schizophrenic Gollum/Sméagol, which I think is the most amazing character in the story, and the one that you’ll be attached to most. | | | And I think it was the hardest movies to accomplish in the trilogy, considering the complexity in the story, the battle of Helm’s deep, and most of all, the creation of Sméagol/Gollum. |
