Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Derek D — 27 Jun 2016
I always believed that The Fellowship was my favorite - and now revisiting the extended cuts I am just solidifying that belief. The Two Towers is a welcome return back into the world of Middle Earth - but it suffers from "the fellowship" being scattered across different stories.
You have Mary and Pippen with the Ents; Frodo and Sam with Gollum; and Aragorn and company journeying across Rohan. It's all balanced well but it just doesn't have that same punch that of The Fellowship all being together. What it really comes down to is The Fellowship was a more intimate character driven journey - while Two Towers is a larger, battle driven plot.
Don't get me wrong it's still all fantastic, thrilling, and nerd-tastic; its just not as good. But to be honest, a notch down from The Fellowship is still miles above most other fantasy films out there.
