Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Jay L — 19 Mar 2013

"A NEW POWER IS RISING..".

Flat-out breathtaking. A masterpiece. An absolute visual astonishment. Epic. Thrilling. An absolutely legendary cinematic achievement, The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers has done the impossible, it's improved upon nearly every aspect of the ground-breakingly legendary first film. Director Peter Jackson (The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring, The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King, King Kong, The Lovely Bones) has brought us yet another splendidly, beautifully crafted epic piece of astronomically legendary visual and cinematic standards. These films are setting groundbreaking new standards in cinema, including spectacular use of crystal clear CGI, special effects, action sequences, set designs, costume designs and storytelling. A gorgeously extravagant breathtaking epic that's vast and incredibly sprawling from start to finish. Peter Jackson and company have once again transformed the words on the pages of J.R.R. Tolkien's books into an extraordinary motion picture, The Two Towers astonished me in every way possible. An instant classic in every way imaginable, a masterpiece in every sense of the word. The Two Towers is an adventure of a lifetime, the second film in Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings trilogy is an adventure of a lifetime, it's simply one of the most extraordinarily spectacular adventures to ever be put on film. The story really gets the ball rolling as things in Mordor heat island more evil is unleashed throughout the realm of Middle Earth. It's a supremely gripping, wickedly visual, astoundingly absorbing, insanely entertaining, endlessly eye popping and dazzling action packed master work. No doubt that the third film is guaranteed to shock the world and somehow top the first two films. just as the first film was, Two Towers is a long haul, clocking in at a solid there hour run time, the perfect way to kill a rainy or snowy day. Absolutely spellbinding, a flawless gem of legendary film making.

Peter Jackson and company deliver a top notch cast once again, and many forms of various talents are unleashes in front of your very eyes. Elijah Wood once again secures the starring role as Group, and gives a brilliant performance. Sean Astin is back as Samwise and does great once again. Ian McKellen reprises his spectacularly legendary role as Gandalf The Grey. Viggo Mortensen returns and is more brilliant than ever before. Liv Tyler, Jonathan Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Cate Blanchett, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Sean Bean and Andy Delis round out an all star cast that speaks for itself.
