I went to it opening night Though I haven't completely finished the Two
Towers portion of the book (still have about 30-40 pages left) I though that
the movie held very true to the book without overdoing it.  There were some
subtle differences that I noticed (i think) but since i have such a horrible
memory, i'm not sure if they were different or not, I'll have to re-read
those portions of the book.

Overall I thought the movie was excellent.  If Fellowship of the Ring was 10
out of 10, i'd rate Two Towers a 9. The only reason for the 9 is that the
majority of the movie is build-up and character building for the end of the
movie and for Return of the King..  However, I think it is all very
tastefully done and very entertaining.  There is much more humor in this
movie as compared to the first as well.

The Ents were kickass, Legolas and Gimli's friendship becomes more prevelant
and the fight scenes were amazing.  It's well worth the $7.50 I spent to see
it.
