A Sequel that Widens the Scale

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2020)

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a sequel that's better than its predecessor for 1 main reason, scale. Everything feels more important while not losing that feeling of a small closely knit story like the first film. Here is where everything becomes less about small scale sword fights and more about the war that is to come. This film has all the great acting and CGI from the first one paired with stellar storytelling and one of the greatest battles of all time. Two Towers is nearly perfect.
