Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2002)

I've just returned from an advance screening of The Two Towers here in Brazil and I'm very fulfilled. Everything went fine in the second adaptation of Tolkien's book.The story is fantastic as always ,the characters show anger and want to fight for freedom of the Middle Earth.
The best in this picture are the battles that were extremely well realised , the Ents fighting were great and the scenes with Gollum are at the same time funny and scary.The story follows where The Fellowship of the Ring stopped, you see the parallel stories of Frodo and Sam going to destroy the ring and the story of Legolas,Aragorn and Gimli(the most funny in the entire picture) trying to rescue Merry and Pippin.
More characters were added to the story.First Eowyn(Miranda Otto) a woman with presence and that has very good facial expressions,she doesn't act too much. She's there just to cause jealousy in Arwen with a bigger cameo in this picture.ThÃ©oden is just excellent and Grima is just fantastic.
It is not better than the first but is very good too.It has more effects and more freedom to tell the story cos' now Peter Jackson doesn't have to explain the story of the book,who wants to really understand Tolkien's world must read his books.The 3 hours pass quickly as a thunder(if you enjoy the story!).It can't be analized alone because the movie doesn't have a conclusion so it's a great second part,with a lot of jokes, battles, adventure, beautiful places and a story of hope , fight for a good cause and of course the ring.
