Summary:
As we remember from the “The Fellowship of the Ring”,
hobbit Frodo Baggins stumbles upon a duty to destroy a maliciously
potent treasure. It’s a ring that harbors the strength of
the Dark Lord Sauron, who holds Middle Earth in cruelty. The ring
is so powerful that it cannot be destroyed by reasonable means.
He and his Fellowship group forms a bond so strong that it ‘s
capable of battling the Dark as they journey into the beautiful
but dangerous land of Middle Earth.
Peter Jackson’s “The Two Towers”, a second installment
to “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, continues where
the first film left off, where the Fellowship is in fierce battle
of Middle Earth, against Sauron’s forces. A hideous creature
Gollum becomes a helpful guide for Frodo and Sam to crossover Mount
Doom, a barren land. Forces of Good and Evil clashes heavily at
Helm’s Deep.
Critique:
As like “The Fellowship of the Ring”, the second film
to the trilogy is another great achievement in cinematic history,
especially when considering the simultaneous making of the trilogy.
The first film is bright, colorfully vivid, and delivers more visual
creativity. Although “The Two Towers” is darker and
less colorfully vivid, every scene of the second is still stunning
with full of eye-popping visuals, and has plenty of fast-paced action.
The battle scene is done at Hollywood’s best.
The storyboard, although extremely long and a bit tedious to follow
up, is of great proportions as a legendry epic of Good versus Evil.
The story diverges into an awesome chaos, and comes together splendidly
as you follow. A must see! Geetarman gives it an A. |
