XRAY In both books there is a long difficult journey through many dangers only to arrive at even more difficulties for the characters. In The Two Towers there is rivalry to reach the goal, but in Mihte Lugh's challenge Jack has to steel himself and conquer his fears.

Frodo and Sam continue their journey to Mordor and can't get there quickly enough. The longer Frodo keeps the ring, the more it harms him. The once honest and innocent hobbit begins to feel the nasty weight of his task. The second installment from the J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy boasts new lands, new creatures and new battles.
A fantasy world is at war, and two "unlikely heros" try to get past enemy lines.
My favorite of the trilogy. I find it strangely difficult to judge as a film, though; I can't help watching it as a geek.

Really interesting how different the book is than the movie, if nothing else but for the parts they moved around between the 3 movies.
This was worth a listen, though. Not sure why I can tolerate the BBC production and the American production makes my skin crawl. I'd still love to hear the actual book be read...

Good but too many battle scenes.
