Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Horvath S — 27 Dec 2013

Most movie trilogies often bear the burden of mid-story syndrome but not this one. It is kind enough to conclude major story arcs opened up at the beginning while advancing the main plot of the protagonists.

With the characters established in Fellowship, the battle scenes become the high point in Two Towers. Painfully detailed and unforgiving, the action in this movie does not go for flashiness (except for the occasional kill count by Legolas and Gimli) but instead goes for an all-out bloodbath.

There are big additions to the cast and each one deliver. Highly recommended.
