Well, I can finally finish my Two Towers review, so here it goes again
~~~~~SPOILERS ONCE AGIAN!!!~~~~~~
~~~~~~
~~~~
....ah, teary moments...during Helms Deep when the Elves attacked and Haldir was slain, and he saw all this death around him, I felt tears, it was such a sad moment, seeing through the eyes of an immortal, all of the death he's seen...When Eomer and Gandalf come to the 'rescue' and they head down towards the oncoming army of orcs there came to me tears of joy, I was happy and excited hoping that they would win but in the back of my mind lurked what could happen, that they would lose and the world of Men would be taken. I absolutely have a new respect of Merry now, I mean I liked him before, great guy and he was with Pippin etc, but now a new fondness has been placed upon him, he was so brave...when Treebeard came to them and said 'We have decided.....' Merry:'yes?' Treebeard:'that you are not orcs.' Merry:'And Saruman?' Treebeard said something, memory a bit hazy and then Merry says:'don't you care about those people out there, you're part of this world too,'...or something along those lines, I thought Merry you are so great. Thought it was nice when Pippin said his bit about heading to Isengard, being close to the enemy yet far, never suspect it, was really quint. Then, when Treebeard stepped into the clearing where the trees had been cut and he bacame angry and called the other Ents and he said'The last march of the Ents, we most likely go to our doom' I was taken over with emotion, and then seeing them storming Isengard, beutiful!!! Forgot to mention, when Aragorn had his vision and then when he fell off the cliff into the water, I was shocked, thinking 'What?! He can't die, that's not supposed to happen' and then I saw Gimli and Legolas, thinking he was dead, it was so sad. And when Elrond and Arwen were talking and Arwen saw what would happen if she stayed by her love, my heart jerked, it was such a grief striken moment...and when she decided to leave, I was thinking what's going on, she's not supposed to leave! Then, when Aragorn finally returned to Helms Deep after his fall from the river and Legolas(in Elvish)says:'you're late'...(English)'you look terrible', priceless! Up there with Gimli's 'I'm going to kill him,*hugs*do you know....'so cute!! During the whole film, Gimli was great, being short and the whole 'would you like me to describe it to you or would you like a box' was nice, plus you can resist their Orc killing counting games, hehe, so funny! But...this brings me to my two favorite Hobbits, Frodo and Sam. Oh jeez, they were incredible, I wanted to hug them on countless times! Sam was beutifully done, and me being a Sam fan, I wasn't desipointed. And Gollum...wow! He was spectacular, a true gem!! I want to give Andy Serkis a medal, I really do!! At the end of the movie, when Sam saves Frodo from putting on the Ring and giving it to Sauron, and Frodo draws his sword on him I gasped, at that moment a great fear settled on me, that was when I knew Frodo was gone, taken a hold of by the Ring...and Sam says 'it's me, your Sam, you wouldn't hurt your Sam would you, Mister Frodo' tears came to my eyes a fell freely, I was practically bawling! That moment and the subsequint Sam moment telling his bit clenched me and I just wanted to make them fell better agian, be alright. And then at the very end, where Gollum talks to himself and says 'She can do it, she can kill them both' Dread gripped me, I was shaking and crying and a total wreck, because that was what led to the most emotional moment in the story for me, he's setting it up for the kill. I was in shock, I truely felt dread settle on my heart, I wanted to save Frodo and Sam but I knew I couldn't......this movie has so much more I could tell you about, but there isn't time...I'm praying I'm going to go see it agian very soon....It's incredible and spectacular, an absolute gem of amazement.
