(1 - 50) of 61 OFCS Rating: 97% Fresh Page   12   > Next "Awesome creatures, breathtaking scenery, and epic battle scenes add up to another 'spectacular spectacle.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 8/10 "I can say with sincerity that I genuinely enjoyed at least a third of this rapidly expanding trilogy so far."   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 3.5/5 "While I was expecting yet another derivative battle sequence, the siege on Helm's Deep is one of the most detailed and well crafted combat scenes ever put to film."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "While this structure slows down ostensible forward motion, it also allows each crew to showcase its star performer and some scenery."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 88/100 "the awe-inspiring battle sequences in this film are nonpareil in contemporary cinema."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 3.5/4 "Now that Jackson has established his make-believe world, he can have fun with it."   Nitrate Online   Dan Lybarger A- "Equally as compelling as its predecessor, and perhaps more technically awesome, Peter Jackson’s second Middle Earth chapter is, as expected, very, very cool."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 4/4 "The Two Towers takes the tradition of Tolkien's work into a darker, creepier and more seriously woven direction, magnifying the scope to something that even the first feature barely scratched the surface of."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes A "This version of the sinister classic tale of battle between the forces of good against evil even tops the brilliant first part..."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Maybe The Two Towers will stand as a more respectable and meaningful bridge between the crucial first and last entries. On its own, however, it is a crushing disappointment of ill-advised missteps and misplaced opportunities."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3.5/4 "The Two Towers could be the most sinister Hollywood epic ever made."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez "'A hell of a movie', dirían los yanquis."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio A- "More visceral and engaging than nearly any other action/adventure film this year."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "The second chapter only cemented my love for the story & characters, but also my belief that this story in either 3-or-6 hour intervals won’t be fully served until The Return of the King ends."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A "This is filmmaking on an unparalleled scale, stirring, rousing, technically perfect."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "Make no mistake in the realization that The Two Towers registers delightfully as a defining technical-achieving dynamo that embraces the extending heart and massages the pleasing anticipated eye."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng A "Meeting, even exceeding expectations, it's the best sequel since The Empire Strikes Back ... a majestic achievement, an epic of astonishing grandeur and surprising emotional depth."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek A+ "The most exciting vision captured on cinema, two years running."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 4/4 "In nearly every way that counts, The Two Towers is The Fellowship of the Ring's equal."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "The film’s climax, the Battle for Helm’s Deep ... is quite simply one of the most impressive large-scale battle sequences ever committed to celluloid."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "Tolkien groupies be damned, but I can't ever remember the books ever being this action filled!"   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 4/5 "The middle installment of Peter Jackson's saga is heavy on spectacle, long on talent -- and still feels like the halfway mark of an unfinished symphony."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "An enigma edged with a rousing melange of story arcs."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 10/10 "For those who value a steady build to utter intensity, The Two Towers is a grand achievement."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "With superb technical work and some terrific individual sequences and fun computer-generated characters, I found the film to be a tad better and more entertaining than the original."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "This go-around bored me, confused me at times and didn't really get too much deeper into its characters."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3.5/4 "Yes, Peter Jackson demands nine hours of your time. But I can't think of a director more deserving."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito A- "Not only does Jackson establish himself as the Cecil B. DeMille of epic CGI battle scenes, but he's now the Ingmar Bergman of modern cinematic technology"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 9/10 "Both Gollum and the battles are a triumph of integrated art, technology, and sheer logistics."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 9/10 "Hardcore fans might have something to gripe about, but in the grand scheme, Towers should be making them (and everyone else) squeal instead of sulk."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/4 "'Cautivadora, sorprendente, impresionante. Demuestra que el límite del ser humano es su propia imaginación'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 "The first two hours are a tiny bit tedious, but nonetheless this movie is second only to part 1 of the trilogy."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "Two Towers is spectacular and exciting, and technically practically perfect, but somehow clinical. Gollum is REAL."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4/4 "... these characters are feeling as people, not just enduring as tragedy finds them. This is the very thing that sets "The Lord of the Rings" apart from nearly all modern fantasy films since "Excalibur"... "Two Towers" down, one "King" to go."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/4 "There is easily ten times more danger and mayhem [than in Fellowship], and the action is consistently more visceral and inspired."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A "Two Towers should serve as a postcard to George Lucas, one that reads 'Making great movies, wish you were here!'."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll B+ "This second installment of the trilogy is altogether darker, grayer, grimmer and bloodier than the first"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 9/10 "The Two Towers es apabullante, no sólo en su épica, sino también en el gigantesco despliegue de recursos."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 3/5 "This second installment is heavy on battle sequences, which will thrill some viewers more than others.this second installment is heavy on battle sequences, which will thrill some viewers more than others."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/4 "A monumental technical achievement."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 10/10 "The cast remains excellent."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 4/4 "A new standard by which big-budget adventures will be judged."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "In one of the most fantastical settings and one of the most fantastical stories this year, Jackson has given us one of the most emotionally genuine films of this year."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/5 "Jackson ... is at his best when coordinating enormous numbers of people and impressive special effects into a cohesive and stunning whole."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "The Two Towers has the kind of ambition that few movies these days have. Going to see it is an event."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 5/5 "Every moment of chapter two is packed full with the same breathtaking audacity and scope of the first one, plus three times as much action."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 5/5 "Nós gosta muito de As Duas Torres."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/4 "The most impressive new element in this installment is the completely CGI-created Gollum...he turns in the best performance."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 5/5 "Another stunner of a film."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "The battle is one of the best of its kind in film history, a symphony of bloodlust and hopes dashed and restored."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves  (1 - 50) of 61 OFCS Rating: 97% Fresh Page   12   > Next
