Editorial Reviews
The second part of this epic trilogy, based on the perennially bestselling fantasy novels by J.R.R. Tolkien, not only meets but surpasses the high standards set by the initial film, The Fellowship of the Ring. Director Peter Jackson, working from a masterfully adapted script by Frances Walsh, condenses the second book's narrative in a way that captures all the highlights and eliminates the dragging spots. The result is a truly spectacular movie, crammed with action and darker in tone than its predecessor. The story initially focuses on the hobbits Frodo Baggins (played by Elijah Wood) and Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin), who press on toward Mordor and the ultimate disposition of the magical ring they reluctantly bear. Our attention is subsequently directed toward other members of the Fellowship -- human Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) -- who join forces with a group of humans besieged by demon warriors commanded by the malevolent Lord Saruman (Christopher Lee). Utilizing spectacular New Zealand locations, Jackson's production has enormous scope and majesty, but the director never loses sight of his characters, whose personalities are fully crystallized here. The acting is of a uniformly high caliber, with octogenarian Lee and newly minted genre stalwart Ian McKellen (returning as the wizard Gandalf) edging out their younger costars for top honors. Computer-generated effects are employed generously, but rather than dominating, the action they complement it. A movie that is truly dazzling in every way, The Two Towers builds mammoth anticipation for the trilogy's conclusion, The Return of the King. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble

by Anonymous on January 29, 2005 at Barnes & NobleThis one is just exciting with a terrific battle scene near end on Helm's Deep as everyond defends it with the woman and children underneath them trying to stay quiet and alive praying. The movie is far the best of the series so far and then second is the return of the king. In this one of course, we finally get to see Gollum/Smeagol and Sam has a grudge against him none the less since he can't trust him but Frodo has no choice of to ask for his help as a guide to guide him and Sam to their ever long quest towards Mount Doom to destroy the one ring to one rule them all.

by Anonymous on August 1, 2004 at Barnes & NobleTTT has done something that few middle films in trilogies does and that is not only bulid upon the story set up by the first film but stands on it own as great cinema not by copying the formual of the first but by being original as we've seen some films that try a new direction in the telling of the story fall short of the orginal but this is not the case with TTT in this story things become darker and the story call upon characters to grow I have read the books and yes the devations bother me a little but I think to myself this movie keep up with the spirit of Tolkien and does it in such a powerful and artistic I loved ever second of this film and this trilogy I give this film 10 stars. Highly Recommended

by Anonymous on January 11, 2004 at Barnes & NobleI had only read The Hobbit when I saw The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001, and I had loved even though I was never a huge Tolkein fan. The Two Towers is even better! Some say its not true to the book, that may be true but it is still an excellent film that feels so authentic. You get caught up in the world of Middle Earth and believe you are there. Eowyn is my favorite character this time around, but Gollum's cool too. I saw The Return of the King in theaters recently, I can't wait until it comes out in extended version DVD.

by Anonymous on January 7, 2004 at Barnes & NobleWhen you watch any Lord of the rings movie, but especially this one, you get sucked into the world of middle earth where hobbits and elves dwell. It actually seems like you are in the battle of helm's deep, fighting the urak-hai. The movie is so suspenseful and action packed, it will leave you hanging on each and every word the characters say. It is one of those movies that even if you have to go to the bathroom, you will not get up out of your seat no matter what. Peter Jackson makes the characters so believable, it makes you want to get out your sword and fight alongside them. The movie shows you that there is always hope out there no matter what the circumstances are, and this is what I like most about the two towers.

by Anonymous on December 6, 2003 at Barnes & NobleAll in all, I believe this was a fantastic film, a better effort even than the first one, although that one was exceptionally good too! Not having read Tolkien's books, I can't comment from the 'purist's' standpoint about specific 'details' that may or may not have been omitted - or changed - from the original work. But if the books are ANYTHING like the films, I'm VERY anxious to read them now! The backdrops and the scenery (shot in New Zealand) were incredibly gorgeous! 'Rivendell' (from film #1 and then visited briefly again in TTT) actually made me FEEL as if I had been transported to another world - an 'ethereal world' inhabited by a 'noble race of Elves!' The Hobbits were adorable - and very convincing. Gandalf was SUPER! I felt that each actor did an excellent (and believable) job of making his or her individual character 'come to life,' especially for those of us whose familiarity with the books may be limited. I personally LOVED John Rys-Davies' 'crusty' and amusing portrayal of the loyal dwarf, Gimli. And of course - Gollum! What a fantastic technical achievement HE was - SO LIFELIKE in his movements and expression! The battle scenes, of course, were simply awesome, and the comraderie and heroism of the 'fellowship' inspiring. I felt, by the end of this film, that I had really come to 'know' these characters well and to share emotionally in their triumphs and tragedies. I'm looking forward with great anticipation to the third and final film in the trilogy, 'Return of the King.' If that one measures up to the greatness displayed in the two films that preceded it, I know I won't be disappointed!

by Anonymous on November 19, 2003 at Barnes & NobleOMD!!! The Lord of the Rings first of all is amazing!! The Two Towers was even better than The Fellowship of the Ring and that's hard to beat! The detail and the time put into the movie is incredible and the characters are great! I would love to add that I know The Return of the King is going to be even better! All the other movies better watch out!!!
