Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) by Sam M — 18 Feb 2013

After grabbing critical and commercial acclaim to his first installment of his trilogy, Director Peter Jackson moves on to the second film. The Two Towers is excellent, a delight to watch. Andy Serkis's performance added with the CGI make Gollum, a convincing critter, one of the highlights of the film.

The battle scenes look amazing on camera and the film amps up the climatic scope to make the movie better than the first and it works! The story follows Frodo and Sam, still on their way to Mordor as they face trials and tribulations of their journey.

Meanwhile Aragorn and their former companions wage war on the forces of evil. Arresting, epic entertainment that nicely sets up the grand finale.
