Visually Stunning Cinema - The Best in the last 50 years!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2002)

**Contains Spoilers**
An amazing and stunning fan-fare awaits you, that is, of course, if you havent seen this movie already!! The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers, will forever, be seen as one of the best, if not, the best sequel to a film ever made. It destroys its predesecor in all shapes and forms, not withstanding that "The Fellowship of The Ring" isnt a top notch film in itself mind you.
We are plunged straight back into Middle Earth's magical world of beautiful scenery, and amazing cliffs and ravines. Basically we see what becomes of Gandalf the Grey(perfectly executed once again by Ian McKellen), and how he destroys the balrog. We meet up with Aragon, Gimli and Legolas, as well as the returning Gandalf the White(rider) as they journey to the gates of Rohan, to rescue the aged King Theoden who is under the spell of Wormtounge (played absolutly magnificantly by Brad Douriff). Saving and healing the king, they ride to the safety of Helms Deep, or so they think, with the party from Rohan, and encounter one of the most stunning battles that will leave your heart pounding.
Meanwhile, Frodo and Samwise continue on their quest, catching up with Smeagul Gollum, as he tries to steal back his "precious". An amazing transformation of CG and acting make me feel that Gollum will be revverred up there with characters the likes of Yoda. They jouney to the Gates o Mordor, only to run into more trouble with the people of Gondor....
There are more storylines that intertwine in with the movie. It is too much to take in with one screening. It stay true to the book, however, it leaves some gaps. Peter Jackson has added elements that stray form the book, but are a positve thing for the movie, and add to the element of adventure.

The movie is stunning, visually and mentally, it leaves you wanting more!! I recommend this too anyone who is a fan of the books, tolkiens universes, or anyone out there who wants to be thrilled, The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers is destinied for an epic timelessness
