Amazing, in every sense of the word.

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2003)

Having seen and loved the first film, and heard that the second would be much better, I went into the cinema with high expectations. It turned out, that the Two Towers lived up to every single one of them.
The storyline, I suppose, has to be accredited to Tolkien, but Peter Jackson did everything that a good director could do. The visual effects, the scenery, the pace and way that everything was put together, were all perfect. Even the changes to the plot, though they annoyed some avid readers of the books, I found were fine, and worked well in the film.
I was absolutely captivated every minute.
