“As much as I Love The Lord of The Rings,I give The Two Towers:four stars instead of five,because of the total hollywood way,in which they completely blow out of all proportion,the romance between Aragorn and Arwen. It is true,that in the original story,the way that Tolkien wrote it,there was great love between them,but he never made it into a main,focal point of it,to the place where it threatened to almost eclipse,the real,grim;utterly sombre,deadly serious plot,of Frodo and Sam,having to go into Mordor,to destroy The Ring. I Like Everything Else about the way that the Two Towers is Done Well Enough,but I'm afraid that this one thing really detracts somewhat from it,for me;and I Think Limits my overall enjoyment of The Movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves Tolkien;is familiar with the books,or even to those who are'nt,but Like Very Powerful,grim,fast-paced movies,with plenty of action;battle scenes;etc.”
“Eine Blu-Ray eben. Die Filme sind Geschmacksssache darum werde ich diese auch nicht bewerten. Ansonsten ist das Bild, wie von Blu-rays gewohnt, gestochen scharf.”
“I really like having a ton of the extended scenes and bonus material. It makes the movie more fun, and you get to see backstories not featured in the movie theater version.”
“Many of Roger Moore's films as Bond suffer because of the lack of balance that they had between comedy (obviously Roger Moore's strong suit) and the gritty realism that the likes of 'From Russia With Love' provided. As such, if asked what Roger Moore Bond film was best, the results would almost certainly show either 'The Spy Who Loved Me' or 'For Your Eyes Only' as the best. The former for its light-hearted, comedic escapism, the other for it's more intense, cold war realism.I enjoy both films, for both of these aspects, but I feel that 'Octopussy' is the first, and only film of Roger Moore's where a balance between the two was achieved.The plot is sometimes criticised for being too complicated, but it really isn't. The principal character, Octopussy, runs a jewellery smuggling set-up from Russia to the west, within her circus. However her partner, Kamal Khan, is secretly in league with a Russian general who arranges for the cache of jewellery to be replaced with a nuclear bomb, which will detonate when the circus is in a US Air Force Base in West Berlin. The west will demand unilateral disarmament because they will think it was an American bomb which went off accidentally, leaving Russia free to invade without the threat of nuclear retaliation. This leads to a thrilling (if done before) countdown to the explosion as James Bond rushed to stop it.What's not to love about this story? Ian Fleming is probably wishing he had come up with that from beyond the grave.”
