    The sequel lived up to the first anticipation. The battle scene in the climax is one of the best in moviedom, and will be aped for a long long time to come! John Rhys Davies was a blast in this one. Viggo was as cool as ever and Orlando quite brilliant. There are some lovely moments that will touch any Tolkien fan!!

    "War on this country will come swiftly. He senses the Ring is close. The strength of the Ringbearer is failing. In his heart, Frodo begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of men. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power. The young captain of Gondor has but to extend his hand, take the Ring for his own and the world will fall. It is close now, so close to achieving its goal. For Sauron will have dominion over all life on this Earth, even unto the ending of the world. The time of the elves is over. Do we leave Middle-Earth to its fate? Do we let them stand alone?"

    A new power is rising, darkness is growing... The journey to destroy the ring continues, but the evil is growing stronger and more towns are being slayed at its will. Watch middle earth come alive in an epic battle to destroy one ring that rules them all.

    LOTR goes beyond an even large budget to show us the massive war side of things, and it pays off big time. Great character development.

    The other 2 were better. I was very disappointed with the deviating from the book, but after listening to the director's comments, I understand.

    I have always felt that the battle of Helms Deep is one of the best parts of this amazing troiology, and rewatching this film I remeber why. I am, just like most people a sucker for the "victory for the underdog-thing" but this whole battle is just mindblowing. It really is. Add the smart storytelling, cutting between our heroes on their different paths, the return of Gandalf and the intruduction of another of my favourites of the inhabitas of Middle earth, the ents, and you have a very strong movie. I am also very happy to notice that the character of Arwen is coming together for me, and I'm beginning to suspect the problem I had with her before was mainly with costume. Also Eowin and Faramir are both nice additions to an already splendid cast. I continue to be impressed.

    I love this movie!! It is not my favorite LOTR movie, but it is still really good!! Of course, if it's the extended version, then it is my favorite, because Merry and Pippin are in it most!

    The second instalment of the trilogy. If you've seen the first film, and you liked it, you will definitely want to see this one and the third one.

    Not being a fan of the series, I have to respect the production value of these movies. The effects are fantastic and the portrayal of Gollum is fantastic. However, I get bothered by the overlength and the ridiculously sparkly eyes of all of the characters. I feel stupid using these reasons to dislike a movie, but overall I just have no interest.

    This is my favourite if the first one isn't. Viggo Mortensen is particularly brilliant in this one - he should have won an oscar! Andy Serkis should have won something as well - it's so unfair that he couldn't be nominated because it was a CG character, it's one of the most amazing performances in the trilogy! Staying on the topic of Gollum, the CG is incredible - he actually looks like Andy Serkis! It's so clever the way they did the schizophrenia - the bit where he's talking to himself and it's like he's actually two different people. He's one of my favourite characters, as he's so complex and you can't help feeling sorry for him.

    You should watch this immediately after watching The Fellowship. If you do this I recommend watching these on a Saturday or Sunday. It's worth it.

    This film is just as great as the first. With jaw dropping scenes and the battle for Helm's Deep really is the highlight of the film. A good balance of the storylines aswell which means that u don't see 2 much of 1 character. When u have watched it u just have 2 watch the next 1

    equally compelling as its prequel, and perhaps more technically awesome. and the masterpiece continues...

    JRR Tolkien knew how to write a story. At least they did try to stay true to the original book, but the book is definitely better.

    I think the Two Towers stayed true to the book as well as it could without having it be too long. They made the movie enjoyable for people who have and haven't read the books.
