Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Danny O — 13 Aug 2015
The Two Towers succeeds at raising the stakes of the first film and remaining a strong sequel. The characters have gone their separate ways, all with interesting stories. The acting is top notch yet again.
The music once again is stunning, as are the visual effects. This sequel is darker, and extremely entertaining. The battle scenes such as the Battle of Helm's Deep are jaw dropping, they're frightening, and expertly staged.
We are introduced to some memorable new characters and locations to the series. The film is emotionally satisfying and combines it with an engaging story and even a few laughs. It's also beautifully shot.
Overall, I think the Fellowship is slightly better, but this movie is brilliant in every sense of the word. It is a fantastic sequel that matches the quality of the first film and succeeds on its own as phenomenal story telling.
