Summary: I Love This Movie!
Review: I just can't stop watching 'Lord of the Rings: Two Towers' on DVD. It is such a spectacular movie sequel! 'Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring' is a wonderful movie; but I like 'Two Towers' a lot better because of the action and adventure sequences. I can't wait to own the Special Extended DVD Edition of 'Lord of the Rings: Two Towers'! Anybody anticipating 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King'? I know I sure am.

Summary: Peter Jackson's version of The Two Towers.
Review: I felt The Two Towers was the best book, so it caught me odd that Ian McKellen was claiming that the Two Towers was the least interesting of the trilogy right before the second movie opened. They certainly proved that with this movie. I adored the first film adaption but this lacks everything that I enjoyed about the first, namely the tastefulness I remembered. Aragorn is the star and he's got two women who can't live without him. Both are daddy's girls who wish to be more, one has elf-ears, the other fancies herself a feminist warrior. What a grand addition to Tolkien's story, if only he could see it now - new and improved upon. Eowyn even playfully threatens Aragorn with a sword before the battle of his life, of course in real life, people that rail-thin couldn't even lift a sword from that time, but who cares?
Gimli the Dwarf is now an entirely comedic character ... assuming that people burping makes you chortle with laughter. The same actor who plays the Dwarf also does the voice of Treebeard, who is interpreted as an environmentalist preacher. It's like a cheap tv show way to save money.
Two hobbits are lost in the forest, the other two are stuck in a bad buddy comedy pic without the comedy. Gollum simply has split-personalities and a cartoon-ish lisp while Legolas boogie-boards down to battle. The Orcs have cockney accents and most events didn't happen in the book, you're also asked to be concerned with the people of the town. Gollum looks great, as do most of the characters but a little taste and a lot of editing could have gone very far.

Summary: get jiggy with the hobbits, y'all
Review: wonderful and excellently made movie with great scenery footage and powerful performances all around. It shouldve one best picture, boo hoo for Chicago(sucked the ass of the movie critics). Viggo rocks as Aragorn and so does Orlando as Legolas. Andy Serkis has a standout voice performance as the skitzo Gollum who looks like he could hit the gym(no offense im sure Gollum is dynamite with the ladies in the sac). also Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd kicked as Merry and Pippin as well. thought Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Liv Tyler should of had some what of a bigger part(im just saying they should of). but the real surprise is to see Brad Dourif in this movie, I mean he's done some pretty horrible movies in the past and some pretty good ones as well, but he really was evil and nasty in this one. PEter Jackson did a great job and im leaving it at that. oh and Elijah Wood and Sean Astin kicked too. bye. LONG LIVE BILBO!!!!

A Powerful Movie!! Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Genre: Action, Adventure, and Drama
Director: Peter Jackson
Length: 179 minutes
Awards: 6 academy awards including Best Picture
Have you ever wondered what the Middle Ages looked like? Have you ever thought of what goes on in a writers mind? In this review you will see the imagination in a writers mind. This movie is based on the books The Lord of the Rings. The writer of these books is J.R.R. Tolkien. The director who brought these movies to life is Peter Jackson.
This is a great movie because it is so good you want to read the original books. When you read the books you can find out if the movies are better than the books. Also the books you can find out if the movie had some missing details that the book has. Secondly this movie is a great movie because it is suspenseful and keeps you interested from beginning to end. Because this movie is suspenseful is the main character, Frodo Baggins, has an irresistible ring of power and evil forces are out to get him. So you don't know if he will get captured or even get killed. It is always a constant battle between good and evil. You are always rooting for good to win. Thirdly the movie is a great movie because it is a sequel to another movie. Also there is another movie after this one! This has a sequel is this makes you anticipate more fore the next sequel in the trilogy of movies. There are 3 movies in this trilogy (this is the second).
... Most importantly this is a great movie is because it is based on a classic novels that no one thought it would be brought to film. They never thought that the books would come to film because of the special effects and animated
scenes, because we just recently found out the technology to do that kind of work. Also most of the background was mostly natural but the castles, homes, and villages were hand made. Overall this is the best movie I have ever seen, and the best movie of the year. Also I give these movie five stars. I recommend this movie to any action and adventure lovers.

Summary: good but not as good as the fellowship of the ring
Review: The two towers is a good movie, but nothing extraordinary. Special Effects: LOTR-TTT has some nice effects e.g. the destruction of isengard. But it also has some cheap looking scenes, especially the shots with merry and pippin on top of the walking Ent. It looks as if they put them on a crane that could move abruptly up and down and then they used large fans to blow their hair and thus create the impression of movement. That's so embarassingly cheap! At first glance it looks like a parody of a movie from the 60ies. Acting: LOTR-TTT has some excellent acting (grima wormtongue) but also a lot of not so good acting (how many different expressions are there in Frodo's face? Two? Or three?). The two main problems with this movie are that (1) The fellowship of the ring was a perfect movie and they are inevitably compared and that (2) it is the middle part of the trilogy.

Summary: Great Movie, but not like the books
Review: I enjoyed this Movie very much - But like most Books-made-into-movies It differs greatly from the books. Just sit back and enjoy the Movie for what it is - a movie about a book, not an exact duplicate of the words in a visul format.

Summary: Look on my face. My name is Might Have Been.
Review: I am astounded that with all of the resourses at his disposal, with all of the amazing hard work that was put in to getting the sets, costumes, props, etc right (and at least visually, I think just about everything is very faithful to the books), this is the best Peter Jackson can come up with. Setting aside the creative license for a minute, this movie is a rather dreary compilation of sweeping, brooding wide-angle landscape shots, coupled with some rather goofy dialogue that never gives you more than a surface glance at the characters. Oh, and the battle scene. Sure, it looks good. That's really all one can say about it. Truth be told, this movie rather reminds me of "Willow" with computer graphics. But I don't want to set aside the creative license, because I am also a flag-nailed-to-the-mast purist. I will grant you that some editing has to be done to fit 1500 pages or so of close text into a screenplay. Fair enough. But Jackson didn't just edit the story, he changed fundamental parts of it. And he certainly seems to have found room to add a lot of things. Other reviewers have catalogued these edits pretty well, so I won't repeat them. I will simply say that, on a deeper level, Jackson either doesn't understand or else doesn't care about the things that make Tolkien's story unique and separate it from any other fantasy/adventure. Jackson might just as well have produced a movie based on a Dungeons and Dragons game. That way, he could have used all of his whiz-bang special effects and Maxfield Parish-meets-Enya production stunts without dragging poor old Tolkien's name into it. Feh.

Summary: An Outstanding Movie
Review: I've read the J.R.R. Tolkien books. I've seen the two movies. I've enjoyed all of them greatly so far. Peter Jackson had made another hit to add to his resume, in one of the best movies of this new century.
The Two Towers continues the journey to destroy the ring that was started in the Fellowship of the Ring. The movie is basicly three stories happening in one. You have Mary and Pippin who were captured by Orcs in Fellowship. They are now traveling across middle earth with the Ents(Giant Walking Trees). You have Aragon, Leoglas, and Gimley who go to Helms Deep to help the people of Rohan fight off the army of Isengard. Then you have Frodo and Sam making there journey to Mordor where they pick up another traveler Gollum.
Thats a basic overview of the movie made in three short sentences.
The action scenes are my favorite part of the movie. The fight at Helms Deep is fantastic. Peter Jackson and his special affects team WETA are outstanding. The fight is so realistic looking between the 10000 orcs and 300 men and elves. It's hard to believe half of that was all digitally made.
Gollum is another highlight of the movie. His split-personality will leave you in laughter. It's superb acting.
The music is great in the movie. Howard Shore has made a beautiful soundtrack for this movie. It's good enough that you'd think it was done by John Williams.
I can't really say more except I love this movie. I'm looking forward to Return of the King. Don't miss out on owning this movie. It would be a great addition to your movie collection

Summary: Lots of Changes from the Book
Review: This movie was very different from FoTR, in many ways. First of all, the movie and book is mostly battle. The battle of Helm's deep is probably the focal point of the entire movie, so the movie is significantly more violent than the first. If you're faint at heart, and don't like seeing orcs die, then you might want to consider watching "Bambi" or something else instead. The cinematography in the movie was...once again, astounding. One particular shot that runs in my mind is when Aragorn retraces the steps of Merry and Pippin...the flashbacks between Aragorn (present) and Pippin and Merry (past) are excellent. A few other notable shots include when Aragorn picks up the Lorien Leaf that the hobbits leave behind; when Aragorn walks through the double doors, and (this one is incredible) when Frodo attacks Samwise (watch his blade..this shot is incredible). Of course the landscapes and the battle scenes are great too, those are just a few particular shots that I remember. There are several things that I really loved and enjoyed about the movie. I'll make a brief list of them here: -The introduction starting outside the mountain hearing what is going on inside and then Gandalf falling/fighting the Balrog
Grima Wormtongue. Perfect casting..you couldn't get any slimier than that!
-The Wargs (though they sort of looked too cute...)
-The ents...oh my..the Ents were spectacular.
-The destruction of Isengard! I just wish they would have shown more of it.
-The battle of Helm's deep. I know this is like half the movie...but it was great! There were a few changes from the book, but I won't mention them (I don't want to spoil the movie too much). I'll back up every (almost) change that Jackson made...even what Jackson did to Faramir. There weren't too many things I didn't like..but the first and foremost is probably the Entmoot...that is the one change that I think Jackson shouldn't have made. Also...we didn't get to see Treebeard's "house." That was a shame. I really wanted to see the table and the Ent draught. I also didn't like the dwarf tossing joke (yes..*another* dwarf tossing joke...sheesh!) and I didn't like what Frodo saw in the Dead Marshes. Peter Jackson (even he admits this), took more creative liberties with this movie than any of the Lord of the Rings films (released and unreleased). Knowing this before I saw the movie, I was a little worried. I figured he had cut something big out...or added something stupid in. But, in the end, I can appreciate almost all the changes he made (with the possible exception of the entmoot), and I think this movie was once again a winner! Thanks to everyone who made it! It was great!
