Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers(Movie)

The Two Towers is the second movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson. The story begins with a flashback to the first movie were Gandalf is fighting the Balrog in a free fall till they hit the bottom of the cave then you see Frodo wake up as though it was a dream. The fellowship has broken up and Saurons army has become very powerful and almost unstopable. Boromir has died, Merry and Pippin have been captured, Frodo and Sam make their way toward Mordor, and Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas are tracking down Merry and Pippin. A lot of new characters good and bad come into the picture in the two towers. Some new characters are Faramir, Boromirs younger brother, Tree Beard, King Theodin, Gandalf the White, you finally get to see who Gollum really is and find out he use to be a hobbit named Smeagle. Since the fellowship is broken up you really get to see the emotional and physical journeys each character goes through. Through the countless battles, long journeys, and the beginning of the war to save Middle Earth you see a tremendous amount of will power to save the people and the places they love. This movie was a visual masterpiece with the beautiful shots of the landscapes, battle scenes, costumes and creatures. The way the story enter-twines all the individual stories of the characters along with the beautiful shots gives this movie many moods and feelings as the story progresses. The Two Towers ends with a victory at helms deep and Sauron is locked away in his tower, but the battle to save their lives and their home has just begun. The Two Towers is a great movie that is full of great visual effects, a great story, and tones of action and raw emotion. Overall The Two Towers is one of my favorite fantasy movies and my favorite out of the Lord of the Rings series.
