Perfectly Executed

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2018)

Re watching the Two Towers today, almost 20 years later, its remarkable how well it still holds up. The effects still look great, mostly because they were used sparingly. The Uruk-Hai not being CGI piles of garbage is so much more effective than the Hobbit films. Gollum in some shots however does look a bit dated.
The pacing is fantastic, you dont even feel the almost 3 hours passing by. There are so many characters to introduce and develop which is not easy, but Jackson does an amazing job.
My only real complaint rewatching it now is the amount of comedy that occurs, especially during intense fight scenes. I understand that Gimli is comic relief, but at times it gets a bit much. My only minor gripe. Its not enough to take away from my 10 rating.
If you havnt seen these movies you need to watch them, this one being my personal favorite. The actors, pacing, tone, everything is spot on. A timeless epic that will be enjoyed for years to come.
