| Empire Online Empire Online's Poll Results The question was: "Which of the three Lord of the Rings instalments do you think rules them all?" Don't make me choose. I WILL NOT CHOOSE! : 11% Return of the King rocks : 32% Nope, gotta be The Two Towers : 44% Fellowship without a doubt : 13% I was surprised- and yet not surprised. The general feeling is that ROTK is a spectacular and wonderful movie (which deserves all the Oscars coming to it). However TTT has a tighter and more dynamic dramatic structure. It is also more intense- with a better contrast between good and evil. It has some of the best dialogue scenes in the trilogy (eg Sam's speech at the denouement, Merry telling Pippin that there won't be a Shire, and Peter Jackson's favourite, "Who am I Gamling?....the sun goes down in the West....."). The pacing is also better in TTT. ROTK has a magnificent expansive beginning, then races away far too quickly for us to keep up, and then slows right down again to glacial speed. I think we all need to see ROTK EE! |
