Not the best of the trilogy, but still pretty good!

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2006)

I've seen all the original parts of "The Lord of the Rings" on DVD. I thought "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Return of the King" were the best of the trilogy, but what about this one ("The Two Towers")? Obviously, I didn't think this was as good as the first and the third parts of the trilogy, but it was still good. The battle sequence near the end was pretty much the high point of the second movie, but everything before that didn't have a whole lot of action attached to it.
Of course, I would never, ever, ever give any of the "Lord of the Rings" movies anything below a seven or so, so I am giving this an eight. At least more exciting action was found in the movie that came after!
