The Tick to be Cancelled
·
· Score: -1, Troll
!!SPOILER FREE!!
A worthy sequel to the highly acclaimed blockbuster hit to TFOTR and shot entirely on location in New Zealand, the beautiful cinematography and rich plot accentuates Peter Jackson's talent as a director. However, the shameless advertising throughout the film ruined the overall mystique of the classic work. When upon learning that Frodo's true passion in life is "The Joy of Pepsi" the viewer is left with suspicion as to the movies true subliminal motives. Conflict erupts, in later scenes when a revived Gandalf extols the virtues of Coca-Cola's crisp, sweet taste. Also, the viewer is left alienated when he discovers Frodo's awful drinking habit and racist attitudes toward the ethnic Hobbits in the Shire. Furthermore, the inexplicable pornographic cupcake scene was more than just a mild shock in this otherwise masterful work. Obvious casting problems between films included the replacement of Pip, who was replaced with Gary Coleman (who was oft to say "Whacha' talkin' about Frodo?!") and the mysterious appearance of a character deemed Gandalf XP (played by Bill Gates). Sadly, Gandalf XP is unable to aid his friends in their final quest after encountering a "fatal exception" and shutting down. Tolkein's original portrayal of the Orc's did not include a half-shell nor a penchant for pizza, or the final word "Cowabunga" exclaimed by the Orc leader Beanardo. The score was stellar, however Snoop Dogg's rendition of "Pimpin the ring in my '64!" seemed awkward during the final battle scene. And I am not any sort of literary expert, but I distinctly do not recall Tolkein's work to contain such a graphic and disturbing development surrounding Aragorn's methamphetamine habit. Hollywood's political influences were evident in Jackson's pro-war propaganda throughout the film, particularly striking was Merridoc's reference to the Orc's as "those damn rag-heads" and the ever-present threat of the "sandpeople". However, triumph reigns in the end when the evil Saruman (renamed Bin-Laden) meets with utter defeat.
