The miracle is that 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is better: tighter, smarter, funnier.
Read the full reviewLike its predecessor, The Two Towers is a great motion picture, and not to be missed by anyone who appreciates fantasy adventure.
Read the full reviewWhat makes Towers so staggering is the way it brings the full scope of Jackson's adaptation into focus. Without missing a beat in three hours, the film shifts from epic to lyrical and back.
Read the full reviewGripping, whole and nourishing. Certainly of the fantasy film series currently in American theaters -– I include "Harry Potter and the Secret Toity" and "Star Trek: Halitosis" -– The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the best, and not by just a little.
Read the full reviewNever has a film so strongly been a product of a director's respect for its source. Mr. Jackson uses all his talents in the service of that reverence, creating a rare perfect mating of filmmaker and material.
Read the full reviewHas a sharper narrative focus and a livelier sense of forward movement than did the more episodic "Fellowship."
Read the full reviewEpic battles, spectacular effects and multiple story lines make The Two Towers a most excellent middle chapter in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
Read the full reviewSpectacular in every sense of the word, even if you don' t know an Orc from a Uruk-Hai.
Read the full reviewAn outstanding effort that maintains the integrity and purpose that distinguished "The Fellowship of the Ring."
Read the full reviewWhat it comes down to is superbly staged battle scenes and moral alliances forged in earnest yet purged of the wit and dynamic, bristly ego that define true on-screen personality.
Read the full reviewA 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.
Read the full reviewA glorious, visceral mess -- The film is, by most criteria, an ungainly piece of storytelling. Yet it sweeps you up and hurtles you along like water from an exploded dike.
Read the full reviewIf the second film never reaches the highs of the first -- we have met the players before and there are no new worlds of wonder -- it nonetheless invests moviegoing with a sense of adventure.

WORST MOVIE EVER MADE
"THIS MOVIE SUCKED! THERE WAS NO ACTION WHAT SO EVER AND THE BATTLE SCENES SUCKED! THIS MOVIE REALLY IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE! IT CAME OUT ON MY ANNIVERSARY AND I SAW IT FREE! I SHOULD HAVE USED IT ON A DIFFERENT MOVIE! THIS MOVIE IS STUPID!"
REVIEW LORD
"A GREAT SEQUEL, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST, THE THIRD IS THE BETTER OF THE TWO. GOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS, J.R.R TOLKIEN WOULD BE PROUD."
Awsome
"THis was the best, anf Viggo Mortenson and Orlando Blume were as hot as ever. this is a must see movie."
Peter Jackson's Done It Again
"I love LOTR ive read it 14 times and the movies are an excellent adaptation of Tolkien's masterpiece. THUMBS UP!!!"
2nd best movie ever..... next to the 3rd
"this movie was astonishing. The mix between battles and emotional scenes was great. Another thing is how for instance Frodo and Sam don't know whats happening to the others which leads to amazing decisions. I am a huge Tolkien, so this adds to my collection."
Worth Sequel
"I was blown away by this movie, it delivered more than I expected or hoped for, just as good as the first in my opinion, should not be missed, anyone who doesn't like this movie must not really like movies too much."
htis sucks
"thsis movie is the worst movie in the whole wide world"
the two evil
"A war of middle earth is here. Surman and his fourse against rohan legolas aragorn and gimli. Arwen has to chose death or life. Will aragorn be crowned king."
