Epic, Exciting and Truly Glorious - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Extended Cut review by GI
A magnificent fantasy epic full of gritty, brutal battles and a far darker tone than the first film in the trilogy. The second film in a trilogy can often be the most difficult as audiences know that the conclusion is to come in a further episode and consequently a director must make a full narrative whilst setting the scene for the next instalment. The level of detail in this film is something to behold and the cleverness of following various characters as they go on different journeys in the narrative is beautifully edited to ensure the various story arcs are interwoven so as to keep all of them in the mind of the viewer and not to inhibit the action in any one of them. The cast remain impressive and in the Extended edition, which is always the version to watch, the story is more rounded, more enhanced and characters return from the earlier film to help explain the motivations of the characters, for example Sean Bean as Boromir is shown in a flashback with his father and brother in a scene that will give full meaning to later events in the third film. This film showcases the whole ethos behind Tolkien's celebrated novel. Its a tale of heroism and intermixing myth, legend and history to create a remarkable fantasy epic. This is a modern masterpiece, a superb piece of cinema and a film to relish over and over again.
