Great second edition to the franchise

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2019)

"The Two Towers" is usually referred to be the worst entry of the series. I still think the movie is great, but I can only agree. However, facing off against "The Fellowship of the Ring" and my personal favorite part "The Return of the King" is almost impossible. So don't get me wrong the movie is still great, just not quite as good as the other two.
What probably makes "The Lord of the Rings" the greatest trilogy of all time (maybe besides the original Star Wars trilogy, but even this trilogy lacks, as "A New Hope" has suffered a severe drop in quality throughout the years and "Return of the Jedi" being the least favorite of most people, as many don't like the Ewok story line) is that they were all shot simultaneously. So even though "The Two Towers" is the weakest entry, it still fits in great, as the transition throughout the whole story is very smooth.
Just as "The Fellowship of the Ring", the direction, the visual effects and the landscape shots are still awesome, but "The Two Towers" lacks the great story introduction of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and the endless climaxes of "The Return of the King."
