if only all movies could be like this

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2003)

The first one was beyond brilliant and now jackson carries on the story and tackles the difficult middle bit with such style brilliance and depth. If only more movies were as good. two towers has such emotion in it that myself and the audiences i watched the film twice now with, were caught up so thoroughly and deeply. on top of that the greatest cgi character yet on film, gollum, is so real and rounded as a character (where is the oscar nomination for best supporting actor). and as one british critic wrote the two sides of gollum was so much better done than willem defoe in the dreadful spiderman. i am writing this on the day the oscar nominations have been announced and it is a travesty that two towers has not received nominations in the main categories, jackson left out in favour of the much overrated scorcese for a not very good film. but then the academy have always been dreadful at recognising real talent, their history shows only too often their ignorance of truly gifted people and films.
