![]() Even more fantastic creatures find CGI life in the film I found the presentation of the Ents to be masterfully done. At the same time though, there was almost a comic element to it, whereas his physical features presented here more accurately allowed for a menacing but tortured creature. I was a bit surprised at the way Gollum was portrayed in "The Two Towers" his cameo appearance in the first film as a slinky black cave denizen more closely resembled Tolkien's description and corresponded to the mental image I took away when reading about it. Gollum's looks are rivaled only by his treachery, and the duality of his personality is given emphasis in the tortured conversations he has with himself. This facet of his character allows Sam (Sean Astin) to portray his devotion and loyalty to his master, particularly when Gollum makes his appearance and becomes their guide. The One Ring begins to deepen it's spell over Frodo who questions his worthiness and stomach for the mission. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli traverse the Riddermark into the realm of Rohan. While Frodo and Sam pursue their mission to Mordor, Pippin and Merry manage to escape the Uruk hai into the Fangorn Forest and their own adventure with the Ents. "The Lord of the Rings" continues it's epic quest in this second installment of the trilogy, as the original fellowship is disbanded and it's various members must continue the good fight. I definitely recommend this film to everyone, but you really should watch the first movie to truly understand what's going on. In size and scale, Peter Jackson has truly redefined the word "epic" and he also pays attention to the small things that truly elevate this movie from great to amazing. When Treebeard and his army of Entz tear down Isengard, the destruction and the battle is so immense in size, that you truly have to see to believe. The ending of the battle of Helm's Deep is quite breathtaking, and as Gandalf the White comes in the distance with another army to defeat the Orcs. The Best part of the film, is quite easily and everyone knows it the ending. A powerful performance by Andy Serkis as Gollum, he should of been nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. But the one who's leading them through the way is Gollum, he looks so creepy and realistic, that he doesn't feel disconnected from us. Frodo and Sam journey to Mount Doom, to destroy the Ring. What do I mean by that? Well this film has so many things going like the amazing Battle of Helms Deep. This film is the biggest film in the trilogy. I actually think that The Two Towers reaches the same level as the Fellowship of the Ring, and sometimes even surpasses it. The Two Towers shows us that he is not a one-hit wonder, like so many directors are. ![]() Peter Jackson truly outdid himself when creating the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and he fails to disappoint us in the 2nd part of the Trilogy.
