![]() ![]() Aragorn satisfies a thirst for someone to root for, a thirst that was left partly unquenched in Fellowship. The performances live well up to the standards of the first film, with a particularly notable performance from Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, whose role is significantly larger in The Two Towers. ![]() ![]() The majority of the film follows four separate groups and their story lines: Frodo and Sam Aragorn and Legolas, Merry and Pippin, and Saruman and his army. The battle of Helm's Deep is simply unreal it's unlike any event that has come to pass since fantasy films gained, and regained, popularity.As assumed, The Two Towers begins where The Fellowship of the Ring ended. It's difficult to comprehend how such scenes came to exist in the rather short amount of time Peter Jackson has had to create six hours so far of finished film. However, to be fair, I feel that it's simply impossible to create two hours of film that could appropriately lead into the battle of Helm's Deep. Perhaps The Two Towers' biggest fault is in its own accomplishments the first two thirds of the film are well shot, well paced, and they necessarily and adequately progress the storyline, but when compared to the spectacular final hour, the first two hours seem uneventful and insignificant. Has to exist between the first minute and the final hour, but I take no reservations in saying that despite how you feel about the first two hours of the film, the final hour will make the wait entirely worth its while.As stated, the road to the battle of Helm's Deep can be enormously long and painful for any viewer aware of what breathtaking scenes await towards the end of the film. 10 is not a capacity sufficient enough to hold this movie. I look forward to the Return of the King.The Two Towers is now my favorite movie of all time.The scale is broken. The movie, like its predecessor, fails to bring us closure, but that's ok. Possibly the greatest scene in the book, 50% of the trailer, and action packed climax to this beautiful movie. Its greatness speaks for itself.Favorite Scene: The Battle of Helms Deep. Eowyn expressed her emotions clearly through Miranda Otto. This trio gave life to Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas. They laughed together, cried together, prospered together, and suffered together. Viggo Mortensen, John Rhys-Davies, and Orlando Bloom made a great trio. Ian McKellen, who captivated us in the last movie, captivated us even more in this one. ![]() Smeagol was probably the most diverse character I've ever seen.Elijah Wood put on a better performance than he did in the first movie, as did Sean Astin. At the same time, there are areas where you feel sorry for the poor guy, or just want to kill him. ![]()
