Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Landon M — 21 Jan 2016
What used to be my least favorite of the fantastic Lord of the Rings series has gotten better with every rewatch. Two Towers is a fantastic movie in every sense of the word, and I can finally say it beats Fellowship.
This movie continues the great story and develops the characters even more. The acting becomes increasingly better, with not only the returning standouts Wood, McKellen, and Mortensen, but now with new standouts: Astin, Tyler, and most certainly Andy Serkis.
Serkis's portrayal of Gollum is one of the best motion-capture performances ever, and deserves the Oscar it never got nominated for. The movie is amazingly paced, and is surprisingly more entertaining than Fellowship.
It is funnier, more emotional, has even BETTER music, and features one of the best battles in any movie I have ever seen: Helms Deep. Two Towers improves on its predecessor in every way, and sets up a finale that no one could be prepared for.
9.5/10.
