The Film Studio Synopsis: The second chapter in the J.R.R. Tolkien saga, the hobbits Frodo and Sam brave terrible dangers in an attempt to have the evil ring destroyed, while Aragorn, Legolas and their allies strive to rescue the abducted hobbits Pippin and Merry from the clutches of evil. The great wizard Gandalf also makes his miraculous return to aid in the struggle against the united towers of Saruman and Sauron.
The Good: As grand and epic as the first and leaves you feeling dead inside as you wait for the third installment. Does it stand on its own? Well it’s a sequel and if you were to blindly watch The Godfather 2 would you know what the hell was going on? Keep that in mind as The Godfather is considered by most as the best sequel ever. For this you have to understand just one thing. If you haven’t seen The Fellowship of the Ring then you don’t deserve to see the Two Towers.
The war is fantastically entertaining. How could you not love John Rhys-Davies as Gimli. He is the only real moments of comedic relief. Ian McKellen who plays Gandalf is again magnificent. You watch in awe of his presence. He is by far the coolest wizard the screen has ever seen. Merry and Pippin manage to escape from their Orc captors and find themselves in the Fangorn Forest. The forest creatures are among my favorite of all creatures throughout the rings.
Then there is the return of Gollum. He spends a lot of time on screen as we get to know him better. This is the finest piece of CGI you’ll see. You never once watch this film and think about it being fake. It looks and feels so real that it’ll leave you in awe.
The Bad: It had to end.
Frankly: If you don’t see it don’t blame us.
