Lord of the Rings The Two Towers Review

     The journey continues in this epic sequal to the Fellowship of the Ring. The fellowship has broken but the quest to destroy the One Ring continues. Frodo and Sam entrust their lives to the mysterious creature Gollum who promises to guide them to Mordor. Was The Two Towers a great follow up to The Fellowship, or was it a big disappointment? 
     This review will have spoilers so any viewers who havm't seen The Two Towers go watch it and then come back and read this review. So as I stated above the fellowship has broken, but Frodo and Sam continue on in their quest to destroy the One Ring. They entrust their lives to Gollum who promises to guide them to Mordor. Meanwhile Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are on the trail of the oarks who took Merry and Pippin. They end up in the Fangorn Forrest where they reunite with Gandalf who they believed was killed in the Mines of Moria. They go to Rohan and meet King Theodin who is under a spell from Saruman. Gandalf withdraws Saruman and they discover that Saruman plans to attack Rohan. He created an army in his caverns in Isengard for one purpose, to destroy the race of men. So they flee to the refuge of Helms Deep to fight off Saruman's forces. The only problem is that the defenders of Helms Deep are supremely outnumbered. The defeneses at Helms Deep must hold if the race of man is to survive. Meanwhile Frodo and Sam are kidnapped to Gondor where the Ring seduces Faromir who was Boromir's brother. He thinks the Ring could be a weapon for Gondor. Frodo and Sam must explain in some way that the Ring must be destroyed. 
     Overall I loved this movie. I loved that there were more scenes with Aragorn because he's my favorate character. You see him struggle as he begins to accept his fate. He believes he is going to die in the fight for Middle Earth. However the scenes with Frodo, Sam, and Gollum were also very good. You see them develop a lot in this movie. The character development was very good in this movie, team that up with an epic battle scene and you've got an awesome movie. The Two Towers gets five stars.
