Picking up where the first film left off, Peter Jackson's THE TWO TOWERS throws the remaining members of the Fellowship into the scattered chaos of Middle-earth, now fully under...

While Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to the dreaded Mordor, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) are held captive by orcs, and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) search for their abducted companions. Soon Frodo and Sam are joined by the sulking and duplicitous Gollum (portrayed by the voice and motion-captured acting of Andy Serkis), who becomes their guide through the barren lands leading to Mount Doom. Meanwhile Merry and Pippin encounter the looming Treebeard (voiced by Rhys-Davies) and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find themselves in the land of Rohan, accompanied by an old friend. As the tale continues, each scenario becomes more perilous, and fierce battles erupt at both Isengard, home of the treacherous Saruman (Christopher Lee), and the massive Helm's Deep.
After masterfully setting up the world created by J.R.R. Tolkien in THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, Jackson continues the trilogy with the increasingly dark and battle-filled TWO TOWERS without skipping a beat. Although the director takes a few more liberties in adapting the second installment, he skillfully cuts from one scenario to the next, creating a tightly woven tapestry with the various storylines. Joining the impressive cast this time around are Miranda Otto as Eowyn; Bernard Hill as her father, King Theoden; Brad Dourif as the aptly named Grima Wormtongue; Karl Urban as Eomer; David Wenham as Faramir; and Serkis under the remarkable CGI facade of Gollum. An intense epic that features one jaw-dropping sequence after another, THE TWO TOWERS more than carries its weight as the crucial centerpiece of THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

Review of The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers DVD by topran569

Advantages: Action Packed
Disadvantages: Too long

...a bit long. Second in the trilogy was an excellent experience. No wonder it recieved many awards. This action packed film is full of adventure, heroism and courage. The characters including: Frodo, Sam, Aragon, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf are all on their quest to destroy the ring and put and end to the powers of the dark side. This film would be better as i said before if it was a bit shorted however it was probably neccessary for ... Read review

see this film twice
Review of The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers DVD by grannie

Advantages: good scenery and clear dialogue from the main actors
Disadvantages: far too many characters and too much diversification

having never read the books, which could be a distinct disadvantage I found that I couldn't keep up with the characters in the story. The names were obscure and difficult to remember and the story seemed to jump around confusing the issue. This is a film which you really need to see two or three times to really get to grips with it and if you can manage it, to read the books as well. Perhaps the rest of the trilology will put things in perspective ... Read review

who ever said sequels are better was lying
Review of The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers DVD by tawaka

Advantages: VERY VISUALLY
Disadvantages: TOO LONG WITH FAR TO MANY LULLS IN PLOT

...hours and sum too long. The only saving grace was the gollom, whos name escapes me for now. This was not a bad film, but I left with the feeling that I will probably never watch this film again. Like other films you view on mulitple occassions there are bits that you anticipate seeing again, but not with this film. I couldn't do it to my asre again, to sit through some 3hours plus with no bits to get exicted about. Only gollom was great, the ... Read review

A Little confused
Review of The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers DVD by Linda4

Advantages: Brilliant effects and acting.Good sound effects
Disadvantages: Do'nt know why they called it the two towers didnt see them at all

Don't normally go to the pictures but after seeing the Lord Of The Rings couldn't wait to see The Two Towers. The only thing was i was continually waiting to see them. The effects of the film were astounding and the sound effects also but something was missing in the story line.Because of its title you keep waiting for some recognition of what you went to see but it never happened and the ending was as if it was in the middle of the film. Stunned ... Read review

Review of The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers DVD by kliff

Advantages: fun to watch very good movie
Disadvantages: too long for one film

for the first two episodes of this saga, the only thing that i can say is that the entertainment industry needs to produce more films like these, as they pack all the needs of a movie would have, the thrill,adventure and romance with all the suspense of waiting for the next episodes. with a lot of people loosing interest in watching movies because of availability after 3 months to tapes or dvd, this movie deserve to be watch on the big screen, hope ...

The worst thing in cinema
Review of The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers DVD by JIMOTHY2000

Advantages: This film has some action unlike the one that preceeded it
Disadvantages: it was poor in general with mistakes and uninspired plot

...was i realised that even the pathetic stylings of the Harry Potter films seemed like the first viewing of 'pulp fiction' in comparison. Despite the ridiculous names and clothes, there was also the proposterous statements made throughout the film such as, Aragon taking a boys sword, which looked like it had served in every battle of the hundred years war and even then was old, and stated ' it's a fine blade' Do not buy this film however, you should ...
