Even if we discover it is juast a film, you already know it's gonna be great. Having not yet read the book of Tolkien, I'm hearing about the battle of the Gulf of Elm which would be one of the most epic moment. 

Two or three years ago, I went with my brother, his girlfriend and my sister and visited a cinema to watch it. Having experienced the enthusiasm on the first film, I knew it was going to be the same one as the first movie, although Jackson had to multiply everything by two. Those who have discovered the first part knew that it showed the fingers and would not make the same mistake with the second album.

Ideally, we present a full hour before the start of the meeting. We took the tickets, we drunk quietly. And when we went down into the hall, I found the place deserted abnormally. And for good reason! The queue was relocated to provide the most seats possible. So it rushed in the queue specially reserved for Two Towers and we moved a lot in order to get our seats to watch it.


Till now, we only disgorge a queue to choke another, I think it was well directed. So we wondered if we could go into the room to see the film. Trampling is almost unbearable, so we are eager to relive with an experience just like the past year. After a long time waiting, we finally sat down, and were sure of watching it. When the lights went out, the music was opened, we were so excited.

Peter Jackson warned that there would be no summary for the first part. The Two Towers has already begun as a movie which broke the first and naturally without end. Jackson managed to captivate us from entering and making a flashback on the bridge of Khazad Dum. But instead of following the rest of the community, it continued Gandalf in the depths, in their desperate fight against the Balrog.

After that, it's time to hit the road to Mordor and immediately the atmosphere was not the same, broken as is the community now dissolved. More intimate than ever, closer to his characters and their suffering, Jackson depicted the hour of despair, the time of the end.

The biggest chunk of the movie was delayed, however. If the rest was excellent, regularly interspersed with set pieces and comedy (just to lighten the heavy atmosphere), the grand finale took time to come. But Jackson knew what he's doing. It created suspense while taking the time to properly tell his story. He mastered his subject from the beginning to the end and offered us a battle of the gulf as we never could imagine.

Till now, I was still skeptical about this happening. However, I immediately think of the long version that will offer Jackson a great success one year later.

it was in August 2003 that the same episode, namely The Two Towers came out on DVD. As I gave the first DVD to my sister, I felt a little silly to plant it there and still decided to take this unfinished version. And when it came in November, I had a real eagerness to discover the new movie. More than ever, the half hour changed all the added feature to magnify. The film thus seemed more successful, lighter, better looking and even more blatant in this episode than the first game. Without beginning and without end, The Two Towers is a great movie.
