Better than the first time. A never aging award winning classic.

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2019)

The quest to destroy the One Ring continues. This part of the trilogy fully introduces us to Smeagol/Gollum in the form of the brilliant Andy Serkis. We also get to see The Battle of Helm's Deep play out, not to mention an army of ents laying siege to Saruman's fortress, Orthanc, to Howard Shore's wonderful musical score. Like the previous film, this is a masterpiece.
