Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Yelsew Z — 03 Apr 2015

Even better than the first one!! The Battle of Helm's Deep is one of the best war action scenes I've ever seen. The way that they went about filming the whole battle was just so so good. It goes from feeling of defeat even before the battle begins because the too few number of men available to fight to, "I think we may have a chance.

" It's just astonishing to see the 10,000 strong orc army marching toward Helm's Deep and having the feeling of despair like, "how are they ever going to win this?". It keeps in suspense the whole time and keeps your attention like crazy.

We also have the Ents going to avenge their fallen brother trees at the hand of Saruman. And not to forget about Frodo and company going through the marshes of dead people and Sam's never-ending suspicion of Gollum/Smeagol's plans of leading them to their doom and steal the ring.

And I love how in Fellowship it ended on a bad note with the fellowship being separated and all hope being lost and Two Towers ending on a good note with being victorious at the Battle of Helm's Deep and the destruction of Isengard thanks to the Ents and basically, there was hope by the end of the movie.

Overall, this entry to the series is just so amazing, epic, and far surpasses the Fellowship of the Ring. This and Return of the King are tied for best in the Lord of the Ring trilogy.
