Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Millo T — 25 Dec 2014

I am going just to just a single review for all the trilogy. Fortunately, I think that the whole means sometimes more than the sum of its parts: because of that, each of the movies is just 2.5 stars (too much battles and not a much original argument, by the way; it can be the first time of epic fantasy, but doesn't differ much from medieval legends or basic good-vs-evil stories), but the whole trilogy is 3-stars rated.

Why? Because of some spectacular scenes (visual effects, yeah, but also good points in story), the character of Gollum (incredible), some strong characters and moments, and the effect that the ring provoked in people around it.

These are the strongest points of a movie that, one way or another, should be done. Probably the result is the best you can take from Tolkien (even people said that Gollum character was magnified), so, perfect.
