The Greatest of the Trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2007)

I saw this film in 2003, before the release of Return of the King. Of course I had already seen The Fellowship and loved it. I found Two Towers to surpass it. Upon viewing Return of the King, I felt it was the best. Now I find myself saying Two Towers is the best because it is a much stronger film that 3. I hope I'm not including spoilers, but the battle of helm's deep was more exhilarating than minas-tirith, Gollum was better (not visually but spiritually) that in 3, and above all it had a sad and slightly depressed feel compared to the other films. Even though Return of the King is a great conclusion for the series, Two Towers is a better film with more emotional depth.
