Why do most people think the Two Towers movie is better than the Fellowship of the Ring movie?

One thing that bothers me is that in Gondor all the woman and children are still there during the attack while in the book all of them left to a safe place

sagmartin

Most of them but yes

AHHButcher

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY LEFT TOM OUT!

sagmartin

Or did you forget Ioreth? 

Best woman character in the book imo

sagmartin

Also in the book, Denethor is burned, but in the movie, he like jumps off a cliff.

Loreth? 

oh was she the healer?

I like Goldberry 

sagmartin

Ioreth

Yes she was the healer, yes I meant to put the I and not the L, and ok

Hannah_Stanfield

She was a fun character 

sagmartin

Whom. 

Goldberry or Ioreth

Hannah_Stanfield

Loreth

sagmartin

I am going to give you a schooling

@jdh1, they leave out huge gaps and add dumb stuff

Let me give you some examples

Tom Bombadil-left out

The Scouring of the shire-left out

For some weird reason, all of Rohan goes to Helm's deep. In the book, the warriors go there, and the women and Children go to Dunharrow-add

Faramir takes Frodo to Osgiliath, with the intent of taking the ring to Minas Tirith-add

Boromir and Faramir both have blond hair in the movie, while they have dark hair in the book (Minute detail, but I noticed and it bugs me) 

In the book, the army of the Dead only go to the attack the Corsairs of Umbar, and then leave. In the movie, they just go and attack on the field of Pellenor-add

At the entrance to Mordor, Frodo sends Sam away for 'eating' all the lembas waybread. In the book, nothing of the sort happens.-add

In the movie, Pippin and Merry at first fail to convince Treebeard and the Ents to go to Isengard, but in the book, they convinced them practically right away. -left out

In the movie, they leave the Shire like in a day, but in the book it's literal years.-left out

I could go on. And on. And on and on and on. 

 

 

Ok, yes, so it's slightly inconsistent. But a way better adaptation than many other films. Some of it is kinda tricky to transfer.

It would be a very long movie if they included all the details from the book.

And Tom Bombadil is cool, but not essential to the plot

AHHButcher

He is awesome tho!

jdh1

Yeah, but so is Darth Vader, and they kept him out of the LOTR movies.

AHHButcher
