Fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2006)

This is one of the best movies ever made. I find it necessary to put in spoilers, so if you have not seen this movie, I advise you to read no further.
***Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! ***
Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) are making their way through Emyn Muil, a area with razor sharp rocks, and a place which is basically in the middle of nowhere. There is a humorous part with the elvish rope that Galadriel gave Sam in FotR. They had to use it to climb down what seemed to be a huge cliff, but really it was pretty short.
Meanwhile, Gollum has been following them, and soon they realize that they are not alone. Gollum eventually attempts to steal the Ring from Frodo, but fails to do so. He later "promises" to show Frodo and Sam where the Black Gate is.
Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are hot on the trail of the Uri-Kai, the Orcs that kidnapped Merry and Pippin. They soon meet Eomer, who is the nephew of King Theodon of Rohan. Theodon had been taken over by Saruman, it's a bit complicated, but Gandalf (who, as you know, fell in Moria and was believed to be dead) eventually goes to the trio, and they go to Rohan, to free the King from the power of Saruman.
Anyway, Eomer had been banished from Rohan by the order of the brainwashed Theoden, who wasn't in his right mind at the time. Gandalf shows up and frees the King from the clutches of Saruman. They know trouble is coming, so they decide to flee the city.
They go to Helm's Deep, which is a fortress and a place of protection for the people of Rohan. 10,000 Orcs are sent from Saruman to destroy the people at Helm's Deep. He had been told by Wormtongue (a former "servant" of Theoden's) that Theoden would go to Helm's Deep.
There followed a great battle T Helm's Deep, and for a while,m it looked like the Orc's would win. Then Gandalf show up with Eomer and many of his men.
Many things happen that I have not said, but I cannot and will not say everything that happens.
This is a well-made movie, and it is given a perfect 10/10 from me.
