The Lord of the Rings "The Two Towers"

Rating: Null/10 (31 October 2003)

***MILD SPOILERS*** This movie speaks of many little stories that all come together in the end. The movie is about a fantasy world with orcs, goblins, wizards, men, hobbits, dwarves, and elves. It is about a great battle for the world. The director and author of the film are not only trying to cross the point of good and evil, but also are trying to show the prejudice working together. The survival of the kingdom requires the good of the world to unite and set aside their differences. The time of the elves is over and they wish to abandon the world and go to the undying lands where they may stay for all eternity with the Valor (Gods). If the elves stay, they can help to crush the threat which may defeat the entire world they have lived on for thousands of years.

The main source of destroying the threat of evil lies with Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin). Frodo has the ring of power. The ring is calling to its original master. This is a sequel to the Lord of the Rings `The Fellowship of the Ring.' The fellowship has broken. Frodo and Sam are alone and lost. They end up meeting with Gollum (voice: Andy Serkis) who used to hold the ring, and for nearly five hundred years it poisoned his mind. The ring's original master is the dark lord Sauron. If the dark lord gets the ring back, the entire world will be covered under his shadow and all life will be gone. The journey for Frodo, Sam, and Gollum is to go to Mount Doom and cast the ring into the fire; the one and only place the ring can be destroyed.
