Non-stop adventure and excitement

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2002)

The 2nd movie of the series does not disappoint. It was non-stop adventure and excitement The few parts that did seem to slow down were long to sit through but helped give you more background or information on the characters.
The battle between good and evil is even more overpowering in this movie. Gollum/Smeagol was such an unusual character. The real actor is never seen but knowing he was actually being filmed and CGI altered later made his part even more difficult. His face was ugly at first but his eyes were mesmerising after the first few closups. Obsession was running wild for him, Frodo and others.
So many characters are being Tested during the movie. Do the right thing or take the easy way. Turn on Frodo or not. Steal the ring or not.
A more than worthy sequel in the series. We are so glad they decided to put in the ENT's.
