Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Rileigh W — 10 Dec 2012
Much more fulfilled than most second films in trilogies, what was a group adventure in "The Fellowship of the Ring" now becomes a segmented journey, following three different groups; Frodo and Sam heading to Mordor and coming across the maniacal Gollum, Merry and Pippin in the company of Treebeard and the Ents, and eventually the Battle of Isengard, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, meeting Gandalf in his re-emergence and fighting alongside Theodin, King of Rohan, in the Battle of Helm's Deep.
"The Two Towers" still has plenty of villains and henchmen, the most interesting being Wormtongue, Theodin's right-hand man who is poisoning the king's mind for Lord Saruman. Each character has a complete arc, which is what differs this film from other middle entries.
By the end of this film, you are begging for the third and final entry in "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy in the best of ways.
