Part 2 of the best trilogy of all time

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2004)

I have to admit, I wasn't as hooked on Two Towers as I was hooked on Fellowship. For the first viewing, that is. One thing about this trilogy, all the movies certainly requires watching at least 2 times to get all the detail. The amount of detail in each movie is simply ASTONISHING. After a second viewing, the movie grew on me, and I came to realise it for what it was. Yet another masterpiece. Casting is of course, superb. Music is superb. Everything is simply superb. Makes me want to live in New Zealand.

SPOILERS AHEAD.
This movie is suitable for persons able to sit through an HOUR LONG battle. The battle for HELMS DEEP is one of the most intense, action packed scenes ever filmed. Therefore, sensitive young children should not see this movie. If you have young kids, leave them at home and let them watch it in a few years time. This trilogy will be the benchmark in movie making for DECADES, so it will still be here when your kids grow up. While not strictly following every nuance of Tolkien's book, even hardcore Tolkien fans will enjoy the trilogy immensly. Expecting complete accuracy from book to film is not feasable as books and movies are very different forms of entertainment. A 3 hour ride in movie heaven.
