Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Pros: Everything
Cons: None for me. Some people may think that the movie is too long.

Every so often I would hear something about The Lord of the Rings books, but I never read them or knew what they were about. It wasn't until I saw a preview for The Fellowship of the Ring in the fall of 2001 ...

Pros: the wait is over and the magic continues
Cons: I suppose it couldn’t really be perfect

This is the kind of movie that you don’t know where to start with.

How can a person even begin to describe all the facets of a movie that has been anticipated for a year and totally lives up to expectations? It’s hard to get...

Pros: Once again excellent production values, and three hours of movie action.
Cons: The story gets choppy in sections, and a few consistancy problems.

It would be fair to say that this has been one of the most anticipated films of 2002, with a built-in fan base that was slavering to get in line for the film treatment of Tolkein's epic saga. As with the first one, I was ready to be disappointed, knowing...

Pros: Too many. Continues at the same level as the first.
Cons: A few. Theoden. Faramir is supposed to contrast Boromir.

As I walked out of the theater after seeing ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers’, a woman of approximately fifty years was standing in the lobby talking to (I must assume) her husband. What I could catch of the conversation as I...

Pros: Best spent $60 bucks since the Fellowship boxed set...
Cons: Not a damn thing

Looking for the perfect holiday gift? Look no more. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Extended Version Gift Set is bound to please just about anyone on your list. This boxed set includes the extended version of the movie, The Two Towers, ...

Pros: Story, direction, acting, set design...much better than the first film.
Cons: If a movie pushing four hours is too long for you...

After seeing the darkness of the first Lord of the Rings movie, my wife refused to see the second. She doesn’t like dark movies, and The Two Towers is undeniably darker than the Fellowship of the Ring…but I think she would have liked the movie. Even ...

Pros: Graphics, cinematography, direction, story...umm....pretty much everything!
Cons: Unnecessary humor.

Viewers go into movies with certain expectations. They expect to be entertained, thrilled, and caught up emotionally. They want good acting, adequate cinematography, and an enthralling soundtrack. And fortunately for viewers of Lord of the Rings:...

Pros: Pretty much everything
Cons: Nothing worth mentioning

Walking out of the theater after seeing this movie was so weird for me. I’ve rarely seen a movie that can make me speechless and reflect so much over it, as Lord of the Rings: Two Towers did. Fellowship of The Ring was a great movie, no...

Pros: Epic, frequently beautiful, exciting... And Gollum
Cons: Choppy and long... many payoffs are still to come

Hmmm... So let me get this straight. There's a warrior guy named Calgon ("Take Me Away") and he's in love with an elf named Antwan Randall-El (though some human woman named Eyore has a crush on him) and he's got a friend named Lego-land who has a girly...

Pros: Lots of action. Jumps right in. Amazing effects. Gollum. Jackson. Rohirrim.
Cons: They’ve indulged themselves a couple times when they should have restrained.

I’ve got a lot to say about this movie, but I’m going to try and encapsulate it all in one definitive review. I’ll cover the film as a film, the film as a sequel, the film as an adaptation of Tolkien’s book, and also take a look forward ...

Pros: yes
Cons: no

The much anticipated day arrived when The Two Towers opened for general release in New Zealand, it's always tough being behind the times as you have heard all the critics have there say, read all the reviews and still tried to keep an open mind. I wasn't...

Pros: An amazing piece of filmmaking, visually much more interesting than the Fellowship of the Ring
Cons: None.

What a night. It's now 3:45 am as I start writing this review, and I will note that I just returned from the 12:01 am screening of Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers. I bought my tickets on my way into work today, at the Capital 6 theatre, which is...

Pros: Acting, Special effects, Costuming, Soundtrack
Cons: Relatively poor adaptation of the novel

Well, I’ve spent a lovely few days since the publication of my review of th e novel version of this story, just taking it easy and not doing much of everything. Next thing I knew, it was Friday night and I was going ...

Pros: Continues Peter Jackson's adaptation of Tolkien's work.
Cons: None.

The Two Towers, Peter Jackson's second of three movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings, isn't a sequel to The Fellowship of the Ring. Instead, it is the continuation of a single storyline that, like its literary source, was broken ...

Pros: Amazing atmosphere, compelling storyline, convincing characters, wonderful scenery, superb action scenes
Cons: Some deviations from the book

Wow! This is an amazing film. It's a fair bit longer than most films, but you just won't notice the time go by.

Okay, before I actually review the film, a quick plot outline for those who don't know / have forgotten the storyline to the second...
