tremendous battle at Helm's Deep, amazing CGI Gollum

Rating: Null/10 (24 January 2009)

The Two Towers is my favorite film in the Rings trilogy. It is darker than 'Fellowship' and contains more character development than 'Return of the King'. The film has a slow start which can lead to some impatience but it builds to a visceral battle at Helm's Deep which is filmed using a combination of CGI and regular stunt work. Viggo Mortenson gets a larger share of the action this time as the heroic Aragorn. Gollum, voiced by Andy Serkis is a remarkable Special Effects creation and singlehandedly lifts this film to another level. His pitiable yet frightening conversations with himself are mesmerizing.
Overall 9/10
