Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers

After watching the first movie, the anticipation and hype for the second movie intensified. My initial worry was that it is almost impossible to follow up a decent movie with a sequel that is as good, especially when it’s the middle movie of a trilogy.

As I started to watch The Two Towers my initial worries were gone; the same imagery was very prevalent and I instantly found myself transformed back into the realm of Middle Earth. While there was a year between the movies, it was interesting that I managed to settle back in so quickly. I point out here that as this is a middle movie in a series that is interlinked, it is advised that you watch the first movie – a lot of what happens in the first movie is very important, and the second movie simply will not make sense.

Yet again Peter Jackson has transformed the magical world of Tolkien into a beautiful and amazing on-screen rendition. With sets that continue to take my breath away, with their sheer beauty and vision, the atmosphere created is amazing. What amazes me is that the visions I had as a child while I read the book were very similar to Peter Jackson’s vision – it was very evident that he is a huge fan of the books.
