The war for Middle-earth has indeed begun!

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2003)

I must say, while I enjoyed the first installment of the LOTR movies, The Two Towers really overshadows Fellowship- but I'm not saying Fellowship was bad, oh no. It made for a wonderful introduction to the characters and places of Middle-Earth, and now that's out of the way, let the action begin!
The Two Towers, I think, is a wonderfully brilliantly made film- the special effects are wicked cool, the characters develop more in their relationships, and the war to keep the free peoples of the land free has begun. The Battle of Helm's Deep is probably the coolest scene in the entire movie, and it's definitely worth sitting 3 hours for. Also, the CG for Gollum is INCREDIBLE! Many a person has walked out of the theater ending up loving that pitiful creature, and how could they not with the brilliant way that WETA has brought our favorite Slinker/Stinker to life.
In short, this is a must see. Even if you weren't so keen on Fellowship, and you're more of an action sort of person, TTT is definitely what you're looking for.
