Movie Review by Chris
September 4th, 2007

Its Worth It

The Two towers is the 2nd part in a 3 part trilogy based on Tolkiens novels. The first movie was long, big and expensive. But I think The Two Towers is bigger, has more action and contains the best battle seqeunce I have ever seen in a movie, The Battle of Helms Deep. The acting is solid, the visual effects are great and the action is huge.

The acting is really phenomenal. Elijah Wood still plays as Frodo Banks. He still does a terrific job and keeps the character up to his weight. He is really believable and keeps up the acting skill. Hobbits are funny. Orlando Bloom is still doing a great job playing as Legolas. He keepshis character great and gives us some really cool fighting styles and acting skills. Viggo Mortenson plays as Gandolf, and does a seriously amazing job. Hes calm and such a great actor, if it wasnt for him I wont be able to believe the transition from book to movie.

The Battle of Helms Deep is the biggest battle scene of the whole movie. Theres a giant wall, things crawling up the walls and people fighting everywhere. Peter Jackson is the only director that could have brought the book to the screen, he gives us amazing visual effects, some actually look realistic.

Bottom Line: A sequel that keeps us moving, it is slow in some sections but the fights are terrific.
