Director Peter Jackson continues his epic adaptation of Tolkein's classic trilogy with the second installment of the story, The Two Towers.

Picking up where Fellowship of The Ring finished, we find Frodo and Sam taking their own course to return the Ring to the Mountains of Mordor, though they are soon joined by the previous owner of the ring, Gollum, who has been driven mad by the rings power.

Elsewhere, the remainder of the now disbanded Fellowship find themselves at the centre of the looming war.

Merry and Pippin escape from their Orc captors and flee into the woods of Fangorn, where they discover the ancient and powerful Treebeard, a guardian of the trees and possibly a powerful ally in the war.

Aragon, Legolas and Gimli travel to the beseiged Kingdom of Rohan, where the ruler King Teoden has fallen under the spell of the evil Saruman, with the help of a powerful friend the spell is broken and the people of Rohan head for the safety of Helms Deep. Here they prepare for a deadly confrontation with Saruman's forces, a battle which could turn the tide in either direction.

With one of the most staggering battles sequences in film history and a story rich with characters and intrigue, The Two Towers ia equally as gripping as The Fellowship of The Ring.

Peter Jackson masterfully weaves the complicated story threads in and out of each other in perfect unison, while also providing some of the most spectacular and impressive visuals seen in many years.
