One of the Rarest Sequels

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2012)

The Fellowship of the Ring was an amazing first installment. Everyone knows that sequels are nine out of ten times worse than the first. In the case of The Two Towers, it is the tenth out of ten tries to improve upon a first installment with the first nine failing. What makes The Two Towers a rare film? The Ugly: Same as Fellowship. Not a thing. The Bad: The Two Towers' theatrical cut runs the same 3 hour length as the first installment original cut. The extended edition runs at almost four hours. My Rare The Great: A rare sequel that is as good as or better than the first. The Two Towers was the best sequel since Toy Story 2 three years earlier. The cast also has a greater variety of actors that the first did not including Bernard Hill (Titanic). Final Verdict: Everything is better in The Two Towers than Fellowship. And that is saying a lot because Fellowship of the Ring was an amazing movie.
