Awesome spectacle

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2006)

This second introduction into the LOTR trilogy is a magnificent success. The journey continues onward and onward. It continues the story of Frodo and his friends. And it continues those remarkable special effects. The story is alas supplanted by the spectacle but what a spectacle it is. It is beautifully conceived. The battle for ISengard matches anything Sergei Einstein has done as well as the sequences from Bondachurks "War and Peace". It is gloriously realized piece of cinema. Something like this will never be seen again. This is a must have for everyone of this generation. There is no movie lover in this day and age who has not viewed this film at least once. Put this on your shelf of modern masterpiece movies. For that matter, put the whole trilogy up there.
