A true epic masterpiece! J.R.R. Tolkien would be pleased

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2002)

Uber-Hobbit Peter Jackson did it again: his adaptation of "The Two Towers" is as true to the books as an adaptation for the big screen can be.
He and his excellent team outdid themselves on this one. Clearly, after the huge financial success of "Fellowship" there was some "spare change" left for even more breathtaking visual effects. Gollum, completely brought to life via CGI, is simply the most realistic CGI creature creation I've ever seen, hands down.
But this is not a movie that's simply trying to woo you with stunning effects. Rather, CGI & Co. were completely serving the story.
And the battle at Helm's Deep can be summed up in one word: epic.
Go, see this movie not just once, but many times. I will.
