Richness of detail and cinematography are spellbinding.

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2003)

Though the action is thrilling and practically non-stop, Jackson still manages evoke the rich complexity of Tolkien's Middle Earth. I found the added touches of humor a welcome balance against the bleak and dark aspects of the story. While purists may balk at some of the changes made from the text, overall, The Two Towers captures the spirit of the book very well.
