Bored with the rings..

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2005)

Peter Jackson achieved the impossible by making "2 Towers" even worse than "Fellowship of the Ring". By keeping the basic elements of "Fellowship", i.e. dozens of fantasy clichés - from "Excalibur" to "The Neverending Story", and adding a large dose of Western, i.e. lots of boring combat sequences - Indians vs cowboys Middle-Earth style, and also soaking the film in slow motion melodramatic sequences.
This a good definition of generic plastic Hollywood storytelling, a kitsch mix of "Willow", "Braveheart" and "Titanic", which again lasts too long at 3 hours. Only the digital effects are of any interest, but this is a film and not a computer demo.
