Aroview: Peter Jackson’s mammoth adaptation of J R R Tolkien’s fantasy classic continues in grand fashion, with increased visual panache and dramatic substance bolstering a difficult three-storyline structure.
Darker in tone than FELLOWSHIP, this second installment follows Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortenson, Bernard Hill, Miranda Otto and Ian McKellen inexorably through an escalating series of battles, standoffs and deadlines with Middle Earth’s Embodiment of Evil – Sauron – that will surely climax in the final film. Distinguished by the appearance of ‘Gollum’, a wonderful CGI creature who lends twisted psychology to the story, and the epic battle of ‘Helms Deep’, where a vast clash of armies intensifies the tragedy of the dying ‘Rohan’ empire.

3 stars (Good Enough) ~normfilmbuff
3 stars (Good Enough) Probably the best of the three. ~dr.strangelove
4 stars (Very Good) The climax of battle scenes in the saga, this second part is more action than Hobbitshire, with some epic scenes, some beautiful CGI, and the anticipated appearance of Gollum. You will not be disappointed, precioussss. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) Breaks all notion of being the 'tricky middle one' in the trilogy with grand, sweeping imagery, thrilling battle scenes and a great ensemble cast. ~Wizzums
2 stars (Good Try) The great make up work,particularly to the people dressed as trees,is the only relief from a killing every 2 minutes with a near death experience in between. ~Tubbs
