Grips you!

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2002)

The expectations set by The Fellowship Of The Ring was always going to be a huge mountain to climb. After watching the The Two Towers, I believe Peter Jackson has outdone himself with the second installment of the Rings saga.
The Two Towers connects better emotionally - and the movie moves along at a gripping pace. From the opening scene of Gandalf's battle with the Balrog, I could already tell that this was going to be one of the best movies of this decade. The switch between the 3 main story threads were well-handled.
I thought that Gollum was very well done although you can still discern it's a CGI character. But it's the closest a CGI character has come to be a human - think what will happen in 5 years!
And now on to the Return Of The King - this one may just become the Lord Of All Movies. Can't wait.
