The Two Towers

Well I wasn’t nearly as quick off the mark seeing this as I was The Fellowship of the Ring last year which I saw at about 11.00am on the opening day. And this, after I waited a year to see it!
Was the wait worth it? It most certainly was. This is epic cinema at it’s finest. Massive armies participating in believable battles. And finally a computer generated character you can believe in.
This was always going to be a tricky film, since there are three stories at a time that have to be told, with very little interweaving of them, so there’s a lot of jumping around. But it works, and you wouldn’t know that the film was three hours. It could easily be longer – particularly the sections with Frodo and Sam.
I am now looking forward to the final part with massive impatience. Indeed, even the normal DVD will no doubt not be ready until August, so more trips to the cinema are in order. I must see it at the Odeon Leicester Square.
