Now this is what Film making is all about!

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2003)

What an excellent film. Again, I will point out that I was not a fan of the "Lord of the Rings" books.
I saw the first movie and was blown away. It got my interest. Then I saw this second installment, and I was even more blown away. And yes, everything you heard about Gollum is true. He steals the show here.
But Gollum has alot of competition. I was so captivated by the battle scenes, they were real. If anyone really wants to see how a war is waged and how it is fought (anything goes!), this is a place to start.

I am saddened that this installment did not get named Oscar Best Picture for out of all of the Nominees, I would have chosen this over the MUCH overrated 'Chicago' any day. To do sequels in Hollywood is a mainstay these days.. but to Produce a sequel that is better than the first is rare (See the Godfather II for details) and this film is right up there with that kind of brilliance.
A must not miss!
