July 18, 2009This second film gets better purely for the action alone. The battles are very good, not gorey or badly violent but exciting. As the story heats up the films gets better but its still too cgi and just not dark enough, it also leans towards Dungeons n Dragons alittle too much, pro...( read more)

January 4, 2009Peter Jackson has created some of the most amazing effects ever put on film. But unlike so many filmmakers today, he never forgets that they're all in service of the story.
The Two Towers is a war parable; one of the best and most moving I've seen. -
December 14, 2008This is my favourite out of the 3, it wasn't overly boring like the third.

December 11, 2008The second part of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy sees the fellowship part company. Frodo and Sam encounter Gollum, cleverly presented as a kind of wretched schizophrenic drug addict which makes for a much more interesting character dynamic than the "You're my best friend Sam! "I ...( read more)

November 20, 2009Completely underrated. This was, in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. We'd sat for an arse numbing 214 mins of intro, via the Fellowship, and now we get to it. It has often been criticised for being the middle part and therefore dragging, but for my money, the first two movies...( read more)

November 19, 2009The continuation of story and characters is just as strong as the first and develops even further this time around. You really got to see the acting shine in this, Gollum was a great addition to the cast. The action sequences were amazing, Helms Deep was one of the greatest I've ...( read more)

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Spectacular in every sense of the word, even if you don' t know an Orc from a Uruk-Hai. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
The movie is a monument to a talented fan-boy's passion: You emerge into the light with your heart pounding, ears ringing, head swimming, and gasp, 'That's entertainment!' full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A few sloggy spots aside, The Two Towers is an outstanding effort that maintains the integrity and purpose that distinguished The Fellowship of the Ring. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The Two Towers is both a triumph of design and cinematic engineering and, at the same time, long, repetitious and naive. full review
December 18, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It is not faithful to the spirit of Tolkien and misplaces much of the charm and whimsy of the books, but it stands on its own as a visionary thriller. full review
December 17, 2002
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Peter Jackson, in the second installment of his Lord of the Rings trilogy, has confounded expectations and crafted a film that's both livelier and darker than the first one. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Epic battles, spectacular effects and multiple story lines make The Two Towers a most excellent middle chapter in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. full review

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.

September 11, 2007The best part of an amazing trilogy.
Peter Jackson set a new standard for films that still to this day none come close.
Harry potter only whish's to be LOTR.
The best movie to come from a book.
One movie to rule them all.
