Summary: brilliant
Review: This movie was one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. It made me wait in suspense for a scary moment. I loved Gollum. That actor did a great job on the movements, and the editors were outstanding on the creation of Gollum. Legolas (Orlando Bloom) oh he is a great actor!!! His bow and arrow character is spectacular. Learning how to shoot arrows before Lord of The Rings was filmed in the good ol' New Zealand! That New Zealand atmosphere is breathless! ...Thanks for reading my review! :-)

Summary: SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE YEAR!!!
Review: NOTE-THIS MOVIE WAS SNUBBED IN OSCAR NOMINATIONS(hehe)
In December of 2001 I thought that no movie could be as grand and fantastic as The Fellowship Of The Ring. I didn't think that The Two Towers would be close to as good...eveyone makes mistakes. From the minute the lights dim to the battle of Helm's Deep no single person can take their eyes off of The Two Towers. The story continues with Frodo and Sam making their way to Mordor with a sneaky figure following not far behind. What an amaing looking "figure" it is...Gollum is the only CG character that looks, sounds, and feels like a real creature that could exist. Gollum has a soul...unlike many CG you see today. To continue, the three warriors (Aragorn, Gimili, and Legolas) of the broken Fellowship are tracking Uruk-Hai to the land of Rohan in search of Merry and Pippin. Another amazing group of characters of the Ents of Fangorn Forest, they are walking & talking trees. Sounds dumb but its really pretty cool. The acting in this movie is so heart felt and intense you just can't say enough of every character. The seem to pour their heart and their soul in evey line and movement. Viggo Mortensen is amazing in this film...why he didn't get an Oscar Nomination? I will never know. TTT makes up for the first films lack of fighting with the best battle sequences ever seen. Amazing weapons, armor, costumes, and props add huge amounts of realism to the films amazing emotional drive. I won't tell you too much information because it might spoil a great story. With the Return of the King promising to be "by far the best of the saga"(Director Peter Jacksons quote)I can hardly wait!! RUN TO THE CINEMA TO WATCH THIS!!!

Summary: The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Review: "The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers" is a great and wonderful movie. It is filled with action, adventure, drama, fantasy, a little romance, and fun. Director Peter Jackson, and crew, did a lot of work to make the author J.R.R. Tolkiens "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy books, which I have read, come to life on the big screen so you have to give them credit. Though this movie does not perfectly follow the books I can understand why they cut, added, and changed some parts to it. Books and movies are two totally different things and you cannot make a movie exactly like a book, the audience just would not go for it. The actors and actresses did a very splendid job on acting like the characters from the author J.R.R. Tolkiens "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy books. There are a lot of fantasy characters from the books brought to life on this movie such as: orcs, trolls, oliphaunts, ringwraiths, the horrible Gollum creature, elves, dwarves, wizards, and hobbits. I am glad this movie was directed in New Zealand because the land mass there looks just like the land mass the author J.R.R. Tolkien describes in "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy books. The special affects and art desine in this movie are very excellent. "The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers" is a great, yet excellent, five star movie directed by Peter Jackson. It is better than its prequal "The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring", and that movie was wonderful. I highly recommend you see "The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers" movie in theaters and buy it when it comes out on VHS and DVD .

Summary: The Most Amazing Story From All Time!
Review: After watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, I was hooked. I could not wait for the Two Towers to come out. When it did, I was not disappointed! I liked the second better than the first! Orlando Bloom (Legolas) is amazingly good looking, and his friend Aragorn (Mortensen) isn't bad either! As soon as I watched this movie, I immediately started reading the books. I wanted to know how the adventure ended. This is a wonderful story of bravery and adventure, and you will not be disappointed if you watch it!

Summary: "Nothing... Just a dream"
Review: "...I have never been able to understand why motion-picture people insist upon throwing away something of proven appeal to substitute things of their own creation... Readers of a dearly loved book will forgive omissions if there is an obvious reason for them; but very properly, they will not forgive substitutions." Thus wrote David O. Selznick to Alfred Hitchcock concerning "Rebecca", a film based on a novel by Daphne du Maurier. Selznick's advice was not heeded by the writers of "The Two Towers", a film which provides an exciting and memorable three hours at the movies but is a disappointment as an adaptation of the middle volume of J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings". The many critics and moviegoers who seem to prefer "Two Towers" to "Fellowship" as a movie, considered apart from its source material, are arguably correct. "Two Towers" provides a more intense rollercoaster ride than "Fellowship". It has more of everything: more characters, more storylines, more special effects, more battle scenes, even more themes in Howard Shore's superb score. "Two Towers" also has more scenes than "Fellowship" in which Tolkien's story has been altered for dubious reasons. Why should Theoden be possessed by Saruman when he is merely debilitated by Wormtongue's whisperings in the book? Why do Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli have to fight off the men in Theoden's hall to allow Gandalf to walk up to the King if no such thing occurs in the book? Did Peter Jackson and company think the scene couldn't be exciting without a little fighting? Why are the refugees of Rohan attacked by Warg-riders when the only remotely comparable sequence in Tolkien's "LOTR" occurs in "Fellowship" and was rightly omitted from last year's film as unnecessary to the story? Meanwhile, east of the Anduin, Andy Serkis' performance as Gollum is garnering well-deserved praise. But Gollum's character arc is radically distorted by having the sympathetic Smeagol think he has banished the evil Gollum personality from his mind for part of the movie. No such development occurs in the book. The presence of Elves at Helm's Deep bothers me somewhat less than the other changes; the controversial depiction of Faramir bothers me almost not at all due to the nobility with which David Wenham invests the character. I must comment, however, on the Ents. As visual creations they are beautiful and convincing. Their presentation in the script, however, is not fully effective. Treebeard makes his first entrance killing an Orc; although the Ents' dangerousness is certainly emphasized in the book, the overall impression Tolkien gives of them is of peaceful, gentle guardians of nature who must be roused to their awesome and deadly wrath. The atmosphere Tolkien carefully builds up in the chapter "Treebeard" is largely absent from the film's Ent scenes. As Treebeard carries Merry and Pippin hither and thither through the forest, the scenes fail to pull their weight with respect to the film as a whole. In Brian Sibley's "Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide", Jackson is quoted as saying, "...almost without exception, all those things that are memorable and vivid from reading the books are there in the movies." Apparently Jackson considers none of the following things "memorable" or "vivid": the fact that Theoden is debilitated simply by being convinced he is too old to fight; Sam seeing one and only one Oliphaunt in his life, not two; Faramir learning Frodo has the Ring because Sam blurts the fact out; and the arrival of the Ents and Huorns at Helm's Deep at dawn. I disagree. I have great respect and admiration for Peter Jackson. As a Tolkien fan, I am deeply appreciative of the effort he has put into his "Lord of the Rings" films. I did find "The Two Towers" an enjoyable experience, and I remain hopeful that "The Return of the King" will be of such excellence that the complete Trilogy will be a cinematic masterpiece and a superb adaptation of Tolkien. The fact remains, however, that in my opinion Tolkien's "Two Towers" would be one of the world's great fantasies even if the rest of the trilogy did not exist. This is not true of Jackson's "Two Towers".

Summary: Excellent despite deviations from the book
Review: I recommend The Two Towers, even though it does deviate significantly from the novel. Yes, the deviations were jarring, sometimes even outrageous. But this is still a fabulously beautiful, action-packed movie. It is a classic. I admire the filmmakers for bringing the Tolkien masterpiece to the big screen. The settings are spectacular, some of the character development is quite moving, the music is grand, and most of the actors are perfectly cast for their roles. My two biggest complaints are 1) the battle scenes were too long and contained many implausible incidents; and 2)certain key characters (Faramir, Theoden, and even Frodo) have been changed so much that they are no longer true to Tolkien's intent. Still, if you liked The Fellowship of the Rings, you should definitely see The Two Towers. I do intend to buy the video.

Summary: Two Times Awesome
Review: Rarely does a "sequel" improve on the original and yet this one is phenomenal. My brother, my son and I went to see it and all of us were awestruct. The scope, the scenery, the tension and the attention to detail make this movie a wonder. I can hardly wait for the third installment. Five cheers for the "Two Towers".

Summary: Some things ARE worth fighting for
Review: The nine members of The Fellowship of the Ring were torn into 3 groups in the first installment of the LOTR. The Two Towers picks up mid stride and follows as each group moves inexorably toward their destinies in this classic struggle of good and evil. Tolkien gave us the war we wish we were fighting and Peter Jackson lets us struggle with a foe whose face we can see, an enemy we can recognize on sight. The battles of the Two Towers are fought, for the most part, on open battlefields; far removed from innocent civilians. The Two Towers also echoes America's view of itself as a reluctant warrior. None of these characters wants be be involved in the battle to free the world from the clutches of evil by destroying the One Ring. But, as Sam says, some things are just worth fighting for. Be sure to have seen the first movie to fully understand the second; for the only recap is that of Gandalf the Gray falling to flame and shadow in a dream that Frodo has in the opening minutes. Once again the grandeur of the New Zealand countryside provides a breath taking setting and the genius of the computer generated portions of the action blend seamlessly with the stuff of real life. Readers of the Trilogy will recall that The Two Towers was the most action filled of the three books when they sit thru this 3 hour movie in what seems like an hour and a half. If there was any portion of the movie that didn't exceed my expectations, it would be the sound track. Although Howard Shore did a wonderful job once again; there were times I wanted more from the music. I wanted strings or ethereal choral voices to sanction the tears that were welling in my eyes when Gimli and Legolas learn that Aragorn had fallen. In the midnight showing, an actual CHEER went up from the crowd when Gandalf the White returned to give hope once more to the trio seeking Merry and Pipin. Smeagol aka Gollum, added a dimension to the movie that was greater than his role in the book; it was brilliant acting by Andy Serkis in a mode that at times seemed impossible, that made it all so real.
In post 9/11 America, this movie affirms that there are absolutes in both worlds and that the forces of good, although tempted to use the tools of evil, must 'stay true'(as Aragorn puts it) to themselves and to their knowledge of good, in order to prevail. What is more, movies like The Two Towers help to show us who we want to be rather than who we are. And as Sam says, this movie reminds us that there are still things worth fighting for. Amen
