AnonymousJun 8, 200510Think the first lord of the rings with a large, epic battle at the end. Better than the already excellent Fellowship, and it doesn't really feel repetetive. Battle, from small to big, are better than ever, and emotional resonance is not lost. Sean Astin's ending dialogue is something everyone needs to hear; a need to fight on in the face of darkness.

SteveM.Mar 5, 200310Unquestionably the best Lord of the Rings yet. I love the first, but this was easily better. It should win best picture, but the academy always picks real duds. This year they'll probably pick the incredibly disappointing, overhyped and lame Chicago.

SephirothDarkheartApr 15, 200310This was the best movie of all time...the actors were all hot and it did sway away from the books but it was way----better than the first one and i cant wait to see the third.

TylerS.May 30, 200310This movie is a awesome display of how directors can enchant a whole audience with their creation, the creativity of this masterpiece shines through with the great actors that portrait the ledgendary tale.

PaulM.Mar 16, 200310I expected an unbelieveably, incredible awesome movie, but instead I got an awesomely entertaining one. Not quite as good as the Fellowship, but is pretty dang close. Is still one of the best movies ever made.

JonathanS.Mar 9, 200310An absolutely brilliant movie, perfect acting and great special effects.Not quite as good as the fellowship of the ring though.
-
-
MychaelT.Apr 14, 200310This movie is so off the hook!man it is so better than the 1st movie because it has more action...But the thing is.... Is that I don't know that I don't know when the movie comes out so that I can buy it so I can watch it over and over again.

MattL.Jan 28, 200510The best movie trilogy. TTT is the 2nd installment and most dark, harrowing, and dreary of the coming events. Starts the war of men vs. evil.
-
-
SamJul 14, 200510It's a great film. The best of the 3, so in my opinion, the greatest film ever. Go ahead and think that many other films are the best, but in my opinion, this is the best of them all. I will respect your opinions, unless you disrespect mine or say this sucks or other crap is the best. Not just the best for action, but for acting, plot, and development.
-
-
KrisK.Dec 16, 200210I didn't think it would be possible, but TTT tops FotR. The first five minutes will take your breath away, and you won't get it back until the credits roll.
-
-
MaggieM.Dec 18, 200210Better than the first- Andy Serkis deserves an oscar for his enticing perspectives on Gollum. All the actors are wonderful- and I'm especially happy because we get to see more of Legolas', Gimli's, perspectives, which were hard to see the first time when they were outweighed by Gandalf, Frodo, and Aragorn.

MikkoR.Jan 11, 200310Hur många har sett det här film? Jag tror att många bara säger utan att de har sett filmen....
-
-
IanT.Jan 12, 200310Absolutely brilliant! Sticks closer to the storyline than any book adaptation I've ever seen, with just a few unimportant changes here and there that are, to my mind, totally justified. Anybody that has read and loved the book will love the movie, anybody that has not will still love the movie.
-
-
AllisonJan 12, 200310I loved the movie, even though it trailed off from the book. I've seen it three times and i plan on more!!

CoreyNov 28, 200310Two words. Holy Cow!!!!! Is it me or is this movie unbelievable? Mr.Jackson you my friend are a genius. Thank you for this movie. I feel like my life has meaning now. Mr.Jackson my friend you complete me. Thank you.
-
-
AmandaS.Jan 14, 200310The movie in its entirety, was an excellent display of craftsmanship to the world of cinema. The Two Towers, was just as breathtaking if not more so than the first film, a must see for veiwers of many ages!

SungirlJan 3, 200310Okay so far I have seen this movie 2 times ^___^ AND I LOVE IT!!!!! The second time I threw up in the theatre bathroom (food poison) and I was lying sick in the seat. This is what I said at the end opf the movie; "More! More!" ~Sungirl P.S. All the people who are saying that it's not great are book foofs! (Yes I am aware that is not a real word!)

MargaretP.Jan 4, 200310Just plain amazing! The best movie of the year.

SarahK.Feb 27, 200310I really enjoyed this movie. There was lots of action and the computer animation was very impressive. I was entertained throughout the whole movie. Each character was played really well. I would recommend this movie to everyone because it was very well done and a lot of thought was put into it. It was well worth its money!

K-9Mar 26, 200310This was the best movie since the first one, which was stunning how good it was!

CallyApr 10, 200310While I was disappointed with a few scenes, namely Faramir's. It was the best movie in a long while.

-
-
AndyW.Jun 28, 200310Anybody that says the battle scenes were too long or drawn out are obviously people who haven't read the books. And be ready for the last installment: it's mostly all a desperate struggle against thousands of Orcs.
-
-
ScottL.Jun 30, 200310THIS MOVIE FREAKING ROCKS. GOOD ACTION,GREAT STORY, AND GOOD SOME HUMOR..Plus probably the best CGI character so far in movies.

ReyneSep 19, 200310Two Towers, though not as good as the first, is still an awesome piece of movie magic that grabs you and dumps you right smack bang in the centre of Middle Earth. Peter Jackson is the man, a man that all Kiwi's should be and are proud of! The visual scope of the man is astounding, the film was beautiful, deep, dark and the final battle was awesome. Can't wait for the last installment!!
-

LanceEE.Jan 5, 200410This Movie Rocked The special effects were the best!

EliJ.Apr 17, 200410An outstanding film. Is as powerful as the first. An adventure superior to all others. A must-see film.
-
-
DarthBobAug 6, 200410I'd give it a 30 if I could it's that good. never did I ever think that someone could live up to a film like FOTR but PJ proved me wrong this is why films are made never in my dreams did I think that a movie like this could be made a pure masterpiece of cinema and one of the greatest films of all time.
-
-
JeanP.Aug 6, 200410I never loved the fantasy/sci-fi genre in fact I used to look at as childish but Peter Jack changed all that when I saw this movie I saw fantasy but also a masterpiece in ever sense of the word I love this movie and entire trilogy.
-
-
JaneA.Aug 8, 200410I love the Lord of the Rings films (and books). See the extended editions.
-
-
JakeDec 14, 200510The battle at helms deep was the most thrilling bit of movie magic since Steve's dinos in Jurassic Park. Sean Austin's performance is one of the most under-rated of all time. "There's good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for." Amen to that!
-
-
chrism.Jan 28, 200510I think that "the two towers" is the best of the three movies. this movie is a great ride that you do not want to end. i think sean astin again steals the show at the end as he did in "the fellowship".
-
-
malloryt.Oct 29, 200510I like all three lord of the rings movies the same. id saylord of the rings is by far the best movie ever. for me.
-
-
JohnA.Jul 6, 200510Best movie in the trilogy.
-
-
DerekP.Jan 17, 200610Give it up! This was the best of the trilogy by some substancial amount. I mean take into consideration that 1 year before Fellowship ended and you felt in awe. In Awe! This one completely satisfied my expectations plus some. PS. Anyone who loves LOTR should buy the box sets, the special features are amazing and have replay value.
-
-
JeremyE.Apr 18, 200610In my opinion the best Lord of the Rings movie.
-
-
JeffZ.May 2, 200610It mayfocus on the humans more than the hobbits, but it has a great battle scene and Gollum is a great psycho! not faithful, but not as boring as harry potter.

DavidS.Jan 15, 200910The most action packed of the trilogy. You can't watch it without seeing the first one or finish it without dying to see the third
-
-
MichaelLMar 6, 200910The best of the 3 and all were great!
-
-
DreH.Jun 25, 200910Best of the 3 movies. No slow build up, lots of story, lots of action, lots of excitement.

StevenV.Dec 16, 200210Wow...thats all i can say is just...wow.
-
-
JoojoobeeDec 17, 200210All I can say is this movie is a true cinematic experience. Entertainment Weekly needs to stick to doing articles on J. LO and Ben Affleck and leave movie critique to pros.
-
-
CoreyD.Dec 18, 200210Brisk, beautifully realized. An incredible journey into the imagination. My only quibble is the liberaties taken with the story; some were unwarrented... And I'm not a fan of the shaky cam. But these are my prefences. All in all, a rock-solid second chapter of one of the greatest stories ever told.
-
-
TaylorM.Dec 18, 200210Simply...amazing.
-
-
FrenchieXDec 18, 200210EPIC!
-
-
K-DogLamboDec 18, 200210Excellent movie. Visually stunning. However, i must say that the first was more engaging. But the second is still a must see.
-
-
G.E.Dec 18, 200210Gripping is the word! Every detail in the progression of its plot captures your attention, making 179 minutes seem short. Go see it. Pick an early show if you hate crowds. p.s. Maybe it should have been called "Legolas' School of Whup-ass". Why is a supporting character so invincible? more so than the protagonist (s) ?
-
-
89God forbid this should ever play on an IMAX screen -- the concussive soundtrack and relentless visuals would likely strike viewers deaf and blind (but what a way to go!). Simply breathtaking.
-
100The miracle is that 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is better: tighter, smarter, funnier.
-
75A rousing adventure, a skillful marriage of special effects and computer animation, and it contains sequences of breathtaking beauty. It also gives us, in a character named the Gollum, one of the most engaging and convincing CGI creatures I've seen.
