Yup, finally saw it last ye-- er, yesterday. There were far too many previews before it for a film as long as it is, but that's my only real complaint.
I won't go into any great detail, since I'm not for spoiling stories, but I will say that the movie ends well before the end of the novel. The first movie ended slightly after the end of the first novel, but there's a few chapters yet to go in the novel Two Towers when the movie Two Towers ends. Actually, there's a few chapters left to go in both of the books of the Two Towers. Each novel in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is made up of two books. In The Two Towers, the second book is about Frodo, Samwise, and Gollum, and the first book is the adventures of everyone else. The ending of the movie is way before the ending of the first book, and just a few chapters before the ending of the second. Note: This is an observation, not a complaint!
I didn't like this movie as much as the first one, the pace was a bit slower and at spots it definitely crawled. However, I really want an Ent. I want one to tend to the trees in my backyard.
Overall, this trilogy is shaping up to be the greatest achievement in movie history. This movie gets 4 starfish from me.
