Reaches the same emotional level as TFOTR and even surpasses it

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2012)

After doing a successful job in bringing the details and imagination of J.R.R Tolkien to life in The Fellowship of the Ring, Peter Jackson fails to disappoint us in bringing the second installment to life and it's a big hit it has the same emotional level/depth as The Fellowship of the Ring and even surpasses it.
The cast are as compelling as ever, but I think Andy Serkis steals the show for his terrific performance as the creepy and realistic Gollum, the creature who has been driven by the ring for a few years until Bilbo Baggins found it and is now following Sam and Frodo into Mordor to destroy the one ring. It's great to see that he won an award for best supporting actor.
Aside from the cast, the story from the second entry is faithful like the previous installment was with emotional moments including the scene where Elrond tells Arwem her future and the fate of Aragorn when she's married to him, astounding action sequences including Helm's Deep, beautiful visuals including Isengard, the same mountain that Gandalf battled the Balrog (It's great to see Gandalf surviving his fall and he explains how he killed the Balrog) along with the same detailed themes as TFOTR's, lovely CGI effects, the powerfully emotional music score from Howard Shore and a great ending where the battle of Helm's Deep ended along with the battle of Isengard.
The Two Towers is another entry that captures the same emotional depth and level of The Fellowship of the Ring, making it a huge hit back in 2002 and would always be recommended to not only to fans of JRR Tolkien, but to children and adults young and old.
10/10
