Summary: The Supreme Film Adventure Of Our Time
Review: "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is an amazing movie! In fact it is a wonderful masterpeice! It is even better than it's prequel, which was brilliant, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". This is the movie you should buy when it is released in stores for VHS and DVD. This wonderful fantasy movie is filled with excitment, anticipation, and fun. But "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" will be nothing compared to the third, and final installment, of director Peter Jackson's epic fantasy movie trilogy. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" will be a phenomenal movie! But, of coarse, "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" will always be two wonderful movies. "The Return of the King" is, for now, the most highly anticipated movie of 2003. Anyway, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is a movie I highly recommend you buy for DVD or VHS when it is released in stores. It should not be a dissapointing movie because of it's pure brilliancy. "The Two Towers" is the winner of three Bafta Awards, which is the British Academy Awards, and the winner of two North American Academy Awards. Buy this movie when it is released for VHS or DVD in stores! It is packed with true action and adventure!

Summary: Definatly worth the wait
Review: After seeing the Fellowship of the Rings, I couldn't wait for Two Towers to come out, and was pleasantly pleased when our local cinema decided to show the first movie (7 pm) followed by the Two Towers at midnight. The movie itself is overwhelming. Like the first one, the viewer is bombarded with gorgeous scenery, beautifully constructed costumes, amazing CGI (at times you cannot tell the difference between what's real and what's not), and a story that will keep you at the edge of your seat for nearly three hours. The story picks up where the first one left. In short: Merry and Pippin got abducted by Saruman's Uruk-Hai Orcs. Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn are in close pursuit to try and free them, while Frodo and Sam make their way into the land of Mordor, after a while being escorted by the creature Gollum. The book is (again) closely followed, but not too closely for my liking. Peter Jackson strayed from the original storyline at a few points, but personally, I fail to see why. For instance, there's a little substory in which Arwen decides (or is forced) to leave for the Grey Shores. This was unneccessary, and the way in which she is shown to be departing is just painfull, and unworthy of her character. I'm sure it will be fixed in the third movie, but still. Why not stick to the book? Same thing with Aragorn falling down a cliff. It doesn't really add anything to the story, and it would have been just as easy to follow the book. Worse is when Jackson actually makes Frodo being abducted by Faramir. In the book, Faramir is a very noble man, who releases Frodo almost straight away. In the movie, he's more made out like a rogue who wants to hand Frodo over to his father, for personal gain. And Frodo showing the ring to the Nazgul is just plain outrageous. Another little peeve I had was that for an hour and a half, the battle at Helm's Deep is prepared. You see armies marching, defenses being built up, and for an hour and a half, you're kept at the very edge of your seat. And then within 5 minutes or so, everything is over. The long build-up (which was done extremely well) just ends like that. Jackson could have taken a few more minutes to make it just a tad more spectacular than it turned out. All in all, still 4 stars, as Jackson DOES correct his 'straying' by the end of the movie, and being carried off to Middle Earth to see all your favourite characters in their natural surroundings is just as wonderfull as it was the very first time. I'm anxiously awaiting the Return of the King!

Summary: The best 2nd movie in a trilogy ever
Review: Hi :), this is one of the best movies ever, and is not the best one because I love The Fellowship of the Ring to, and because I'm going to love The Return of the King :).
This movie is not only amazing in the history, the beautiful landscapes, and the totally impressive cast but is great because you can help but love it!! even is not exactly like the great books that Tolkien wrote it shows you a new world full of fantasy, adventure, courage, friendship and loyalty. Every character is truly developed and they are getting more interesting by the minute. The character of Golum rocks!!! there are moments when you just almost believe that is real.
This movie is a MUST SEE!!!! in the theaters, in DVD and specially in the extended edition that I'm dying to see :).
Be well and take care, and please take a look because if not you'll probably regret it :).

Summary: A great movie, but . . .
Review: "The Two Towers" is a spectacular looking movie. The visual effects have surpassed that of "Fellowship." The computer generated Gollum is worth the price of admission alone. The movie, based on its own merits, is great. However, this movie is based on one of the greatest books of the 20th century, and the liberties that Peter Jackson takes with "The Two Towers" ultimately detracts from Tolkien's masterpiece. I understand the constraints of adopting a novel into a movie. The liberties Jackson took with "Fellowship of the Ring" were understandable and kept the essence of the novel. In the sequel, some of the changes were not necessary. I was very disappointed with the portrayals of Faramir and Treebeard. In the book, Faramir is portrayed as being more noble than his brother, Boromir. In the movie, though, Faramir is shown as not being any better than Boromir. It isn't until after Faramir has already taken Frodo to Gondor (just one of the plot liberties that irked me) does Faramir become the noble man in the book. Treebeard is my favorite minor character in the trilogy. Treebread and the Ents are portrayed as being relunctant to fight Saruman and need tricked by one of the Hobbits to fight back. The Ents in the book need no persuasion. These and a few other plot diversions left me disappointed with the movie, in regards to the book. "The Two Towers" is a great movie, don't get me wrong, if you haven't read the book or can forget about it until the movie is over.

Summary: A movie can't get any better than this!
Review: What can I say about The Two Towers? Answer= "Wow!!!" Part 2 of Lord of the Rings easily beats Part 1. Just to let you know, part 1 was the greatest movie ever when it came out and was eye popping fun. Part 2.... Is better than Part 1!!! You get to spend more time with each of the characters and get to know them more as they continue their journeys. TTT has better and more fantastic creatures that are even more interesting than the last ones. TTT has great action. There is a huge battle scene involving thousands of orcs trying to get the men and elves who are guarding a stone fortress. That is truly the most amazing movie scene that I have seen. TTT has lots of comedy. Gollum is in about more than half of this movie.....And let me tell you, many of Gollums scenes are extremely funny......especially the "skitzo" scene. Gimili, the dwarve, is way way WAYYY funny. He is like acting seriously, but that seriousness involves comedy to us. So it isn't like he was trying to make a joke in a corny way. There are many different places that you will travel to and see in TTT. Just like the characters, You get to see and get more involved into the different locations of Middle Earth. All in all... TTT is really funny in some parts, filled with action, eye pleasing and the best movie ever made. I don't know about you all, but I love it so much that I will end up buying both the theatrical release and extended edition...

Summary: absolutely wonderful
Review: I did not read this series of books (not liking fantasy or SF), but someone gave me the "Lord of the Ring" DVD and I was hooked. The "Two Towers" is just as good, better in some ways, and I know the "Return of the King" will not disappoint. The "Two Towers" has the most glorious music, adventure, wonderful acting, and spectacular visual effects. I have now read the books and enjoyed them very much.
You can't go wrong with this series of movies. Can't wait until the DVD of "The Towers" is out. I will be one of the lst to purchase it.

Summary: The best movie ever!
Review: This movie is the best movie ever. First of all the actors did such a good job with relations to the characters. The effects in the movie were unbeleivable. But i do recomend that you read the books first because it might be hard to understand if you dont. The movie follows the story well in some places but in other places it didn't. But i'm not complaining. Some people are to hard to please and if it doesn't follow the book exactly they think it ruins the movie. No offense to the people who think that but it WOULD be kind of hard to fit everything in the movie that is in the book. I have read the entire series 15 times simultaneously, so dont think that i dont know the book. So my advice to everyone is... if you havent read the book, read it, and if you havent seen the movie see it!!!!
