The Battle for Middle-earth has begun

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2004)

After the way the Fellowship of the Ring ended, I was determined to see this movie in the theaters. In this one, a whole new group of actors come onto the scene, and we finally get to see the face of Gollum!
While Frodo is trying to get closer to Mordor, the big battle takes place at Helm's Deep, the last defense for the people of Rohan. Sauron is gaining power, Saruman has bred an army strictly for the purpose of destroying Men, do you feel the sweat on your palms yet?
This is an almost perfect sequel to the first one, and precursor to the last one, the Return of the King! This movie is just so awesome, I cannot put it into words. The only thing I can really say is, SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
