Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2002)

I have to admit that the wait was well worthwhile. Having seen the first film turn out so well I knew that the second one was going to be of a similar standard, and I wasn't disappointed. The film just never stopped ratcheting up the tension. Bernard Hill played a great Theoden, it was a very memorable scene when he was crying over the grave of his son. The battle at Helms Deep was breath-taking. Just how I imagined it reading the book. Gollum was the best character I've seen in a film in years. The whole audience were laughing as he had that argument with himself. I still find it hard to believe that he was computer generated! New Zealand stole the show again! How can one small country have so many beautiful locations, and epic mountain ranges?
If Peter Jackson ever reads this----- THANKS!
Can't wait for next one....
