HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Part Two of a Masterful Trilogy., 2008-06-30
After repeated viewing of "The Fellowship" I fell in love with that movie.
But, kind of like that movie I really didn't care for The Two Towers at first, but after repeat watches, I love this one too.
The battles are epic, the story is wonderful, the acting is top notch as always, the cinematography is just amazing.
All in all, another long and epic journey through the "Rings" world.
Part two is just as good as one and I can't say enough good things about this movie.
Highly recommended.
