Not as good as the first one

Rating: 4/10 (14 November 2003)

This was a disappointing follow-up to the Fellowship of the Ring. The story additions and changes, including the alteration of several characters, annoyed me. The emphasis on the battle scenes bored me, and the trite jokes about the dwarf were dumb. Also, the tactics in the Helm's Deep battle scene were atrocious; king Theoden did things which would have got him massacred... (rush out in front of a horde of orcs with crossbows, which the camera showed clearly earlier)
I wouldn't watch it again.
