Even better than the first, and with hidden meanings.

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2002)

After seeing "The Fellowship of the Ring", I wasn't sure if the same breathtaking momentum could be carried over into this movie. It definitely was, and in fact "The Two Towers" is even better. The storyline is even more engrossing this time around. But, everyone has already said anything I could say about how good "The Two Towers" is. It was evident to me in this film (more so than the first) that Jackson picked up on Tolkien's commentary on modern life... that unchecked industrialism will have it's consequences, and that nature will have a way of cleansing the environment. These were themes I had gotten from the books, and it seems Jackson did as well. That being said... this movie was fantastic...
