I dunno, I always thought that the Two Towers was the weakest, and the most forgettable of the bunch. All I remember is that Gandalf came back to life and Gollum appeared. There was a battle at Helm's Deep, but I don't remember it having an impact on the story whatsoever. It was like a filler episode to me. There may have been something important, but nothing else.

Of the three LOTR films, I've re-watched Fellowship the most. Don't know if that means I like it the most, but it's the one I'm most familiar with.

I've never watched all the movies and all I've read of the books is Fellowship and a few chapters of Two Towers, haha.

I like 'em all, although I do think that the Two Towers is the weakest - Doug's got a point that they do the fake-out death thing way too much, and Aragorn's little trip off a cliff is particularly gratuitous.

Plus...I get why Doug's ragging on Denethor's portrayal in Return of the King...but Faramir doesn't get it much better in the Two Towers. It's Character Derailment, and what's more, it's pretty obviously trying to pad out Frodo and Sam's story, what with a good chunk of their Two Towers stuff having been moved to Return of the King. Granted, that's actually how things are timeline-wise, and some changes are necessary for film...but couldn't it have done without Faramir's character being butchered? Thankfully, he's considerably better in Return of the King.

Oh God! Natural light!

Has Doug been binging Fawlty Towers or something? He's been referencing it a lot lately.

Why do they keep on using the same expression for Alvin,Simon and Theodore for every poster for a sequel? Are they that lazy at creating a new facial expression?

Possibly.

Anyways, just got done with the review. It was good, but I could've appreciate less Britney Spears bashing. It feels really old hat at this point.

Oh I know it is, but it feels like he's been referencing it a bit more lately than he has in the past. I dunno, it's probably just me.

Anyone else laugh out loud at the joke about Trump tweeting about him?

Odd. I thought Doug would hold off on the political jokes. Then again, online activity is blending more and more into politics anyway. That, and the movie was basically ASKING for Doug to point out the Trump reference! :D

He said he wouldn't go on about Trump cos fear, but there would still be references every now and then.

Since the review of I'll Be Home For Christmas.

Also, Doug apparently thinks Storks is underrated, according to his Facebook. Can't say I particularly agree.

Eh, not many surprises. He already covered about half of these as individual NC reviews.

The Smurfs 2.

And the Sequel Month gets extended to February with a review of Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. Huh, kind of an odd choice, I honestly expected Alice Through the Looking Glass. Garfield 2 is honestly not that different from the original, though it has an advantage of having some good British actors in the cast (including Bob Hoskins, Tim Curry as Garfield's doppelganger, and Billy Connolly as the villain in a role very clearly written with John Cleese in mind).

When promo stuff went on about Bill, I expected Bill Cipher. Still fun though, Black Nerd being harsh was neat.

... so apparently, Bill is one of Doug's earliest NC characters, he first got mentioned in the review of Cloverfield. ... I DID NOT know that.

Also... why is he so annoyed at this kid's performance? He's like SIX!

Is Black Nerd supposed to be like those jerkass Hollywood producers? If so, why? That came out of nowhere, and wasn't funny. Yes, Doug needed a reason to explain why Andre wasn't reviewing this with him, but... the reason was because he.......... was acting like a jerk..... uuuh.....

Probably the same reason why most people hate kid actors who can't act. They're kind of annoying.
