The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) feat. Ryan Chollet

Published: Jan. 27, 2021, 5:22 p.m.

We continue our trek through Middle Earth with the ambitious second installment in Peter Jackson’s revered trilogy - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers! We break down the successes and failures of structuring a middle act that must juggle multiple storylines and expand in scope; we let you know which characters are rich and complex, and which just really need to cool it; and we marvel at the film’s two key standouts: the desperate, gripping, and emotional defense of Helm’s Deep, and the brilliant performance and astonishing technological achievement of Andy Serkis’s Gollum.
