From the MSNBC (Via Reuters) review of LOTR: The Two Towers:

“For all the special effects wizardry, the movie sticks to Tolkien’s themes of friendship, loyalty and the triumph of nature over industry — a fact that should please most die-hard fans of the novel that many consider the book of the century.”

While it’s certainly true Tolkien was a fan of nature over industry — and I haven’t seen the movie yet (grumble, grumble) — you’d think the reviewer might mention another of “Tolkien’s themes” — that whole triumph of good over evil thing.
