The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Reviews |
The Two Towers will neither disappoint the legions of Lord of the Rings fans or the new converts who adored The Fellowship of the Ring. But be forewarned: The Two Towers isn't about cute Hobbits going on a quest--this one gets down to the nitty-gritty. [read review] 
--Kit Bowen (Hollywood.com)
It certainly surpasses "The Fellowship of the Ring" in terms of wit, action and narrative drive. What it lacks - at least until the climax - is the first film's wow-factor. We are now accustomed to the environs and inhabitants of Middle-earth. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
Utterly astonishing, truly epic film that comfortably exceeds all possible expectations – with stunning action sequences, jaw-dropping special effects and thoroughly engaging characters, this is a directorial tour de force. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
I sat in a seat, wrecking my spine and numbing my ass, to watch what was supposed to be the greatest moment at the multiplex this year, possibly ever... They duped me into seeing this series a second time. [read review]
--B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
Well, mind-blowing action is one thing. What sets the LOTR movies apart even more is that through it all, we remain close to the countless memorable characters embodied by a greatish cast. [read review] 
--Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
The Two Towers starts out a little slowly, but the rousing second half, which gathers momentum like a boulder racing downhill, will leave audiences craving more when the end credits roll. [read review]
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
What one misses in the thrills of these epic splendors is much depth in the characters. All of the major figures are sketched with an attribute or two, and then defined by their actions. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Yes, there are some "middle-chapter" problems, but Peter Jackson's Tolkien adaptation hasn't lost its devastating humanity, its heart-stopping cinematography or its epic sweep. [read review]
--Charles Taylor (Salon)
The Two Towers as a film was absolutely amazing. Any fan of the books as well of the first movie will be thoroughly engulfed by the story of The Two Towers. [read review]
--Brian Balchack (MovieWeb)
This is quite simply an amazing film, a triumph of storytelling, a triumph of action, a triumph of terror and yes damn it a triumph of special effects. [read review]
--Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)
The epic legend of "The Lord of the Rings" continues -- and the second installment, "The Two Towers," is an utter triumph. [read review]
--Paul Clinton (CNN Showbiz)
Two Towers should serve as a postcard to George Lucas, one that reads 'Making great movies, wish you were here!'. [read review] A
