THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS (2002) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Peter Jackson

Written by - Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Stephen Sinclair, Peter Jackson (based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien)

Starring - Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen

"The second movie of the Lord of the Ring trilogy is also the fastest paced and most adventurous one, surpassing the predecessor in storytelling qualities and having fun with its characters as they and the story had been established with The Fellowship of the Ring episode. Peter Jackson once again uses the ground breaking special effects to make everything look magical and fantastic, but does not shy away from adding darker undertones that find a personification in the paranoid character of Gollum."
