Does not match up to "Fellowship", but nonetheless great.

Rating: 8/10 (21 March 2004)

Over a year ago, during my winter vacation, I was surfing through the internet for movie showtimes. I had wanted to watch a movie with a cousin, and did not know what to watch. Curious, I looked up for this very movie and asked my cousins if it was okay to watch. My feelings towards the Lord of the Rings trilogy has never been any different since then.
Having watched this before "The Fellowship of the Ring", I was introduced to a completely different world and at an awkward time, mind you. I was amazed at the many creatures, all the battles, and other bad things going on in this distant world. "The Two Towers" displayed many wonderful things on screen, including all the special effects, which was amazing to many audiences.
A bit of advice: Do watch "The Fellowship of the Ring" before taking your time to watch this movie. In my opinion, "Fellowship" was a more joyful and more fun movie than this one, which was more appealing to me. This movie does not match up to it, but is nonetheless, great.
Overall rating: 8/10--Great!
