The Great Trilogy continues

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2003)

Tolkien created a world with depth of huge proportions and this is portrayed to great effect in these films. Only with todays technology can it be portrayed so well. These films are a feat of planning and project management if nothing else. Two Towers has everything you could get into a film, action, war, romance, character developmennt, intrigue....I loved it and have seen it three times already! Some may find it slow going for the first hour or so, but watch it carefully as you see more elements of the whole story being brought together. Gollum is a fantastic technological achievment and almost steals the show if it wasn't for everything else going on. The battle scenes are amazing. There are differences (a good number to) with the book but I think its worth letting them pass, the film does justice to Tolkiens creation. Truly great film making, what will Jackson do next.
