Or in the fact that he actual bothers to actively show events that are told in flashback in the books. Not just in technical details like the siege ladders that attach themselves to the walls of Helm's Deep to the ghostly faces lurking in the waters of the Dead Marches. I think that Jackson has improved the story of the books and has given Middle Earth a tangible place. Like the first film, TOWERS ends on a character note as opposed to a cliffhanger moment. What has impresses me specifically with the film is that it increases the scope, but never loses the human element of the story.

For once, I believe that we could have a popular genre movie series that feels like one complete story. With TWO TOWERS, it feels like a puzzle piece that clicks completely together with FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS. Pieces may be great, but it feels like an assortment of different flavors. I felt these were a series of films, not one complete epic film (except GODFATHER I & II are a complete movie). Even with the STAR WARS or the GODFATHER, the series would be irregular with their quality. But it is its equal and for me, that is a profound compliment.įor I cannot think of a single film trilogy where I have been fully satisfied with every installment.
Key question, is it better than FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS. I'm writing less of a review than a compendium to the gushing reviews you should be receiving about now. So the reward for first review goes to a spy I'm calling Torben, The Sinful Dwarf! It is extremely positive with a couple of nitpicks that ultimately did not ruin the film for him. That let out a couple of hours ago, and this is the first review to come in regarding THE TWO TOWERS. The first at large screening took place tonight in Los Angeles as an Academy Screening.
