What a sequel to it's predecessor! (Spoilers inside.)

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2003)

What a sequel! Though The Two Towers wasn't quite as good as Fellowship of the Ring, it was still a great movie. **** and 1/2 out of *****. More things were changed in The Two Towers than in Fellowship of the Ring, but still a great job by Peter Jackson. Though a lot of people criticize the appearance of the Elves at Helms Deep, I highly compliment it, and think that it was really cool. Helms Deep! I almost finished this review without talking about it. This, folks, may well be the greatest battle put up on the big screen. One of the many great things about it is that it is not constant action. It switches back and forth to other scenes, so you're not constantly in the massive battle, which I like. But there certainly is plenty of the battle that you can digest. (Notice Peter Jackson's cameo in Helms Deep as he throws a spear.) The main problem with this movie is that they wasted too much time with added scenes. The sequel to this movie, the Return of the King, must be at least 3:45. The Two Towers just didn't have quite enough of the real book in it, but it was still really great. And Gollum! The best CGI character put on screen. The scene in the night where Smeagol and Gollum are talking to each other is one of the best scenes in movie history. This is an absolute must-see, but you must see the Fellowship of the Ring before this, otherwise you will not get the point of the movie. WOW!
