The Two Towers is remarkable, the fellowship has divided and each group have their own stories to tell as they all meet new acquaintances along the way.
There are some wonderful performances throughout and I especially love Bernard Hill as Theoden, Miranda Otto as Eowyn and Brad Dourif as Wormtongue.
Gandalf's re-appearance and Theoden's transformation are both beautiful scenes and the battle of Helm's Deep is completely awe inspiring!
I love that the film spends time throughout with each group of the fellowship especially as we get to learn more about each character. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, in particular are a joy to watch as they lead Rohan into battle, but for me, it's the scenes with Frodo, Sam and Gollum that make this movie truly unforgettable!
Peter Jackson's use of motion capture for Gollum is pure genius and Andy Serkis brings such emotion especially during Gollum/Smeagol's various monologues, which are beautiful scenes and Frodo's sympathy towards him leads us into the next part of their journey and once again hints at what's to come.
The Two Towers is a beautiful movie that ensures that the third instalment is worth the wait!
