The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

To use the tagline, “The Journey Continues”, is wrong. Because the second instalment of Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy doesn’t just bridge a gap between stories, and it’s certainly not more of the same. While The Fellowship of the Ring may be my favourite of the three, The Two Towers is hard to ignore, doing everything bigger, while simultaneously bringing everything closer.

Film lovers can usually trace their interest in the medium back to a single event. Often a movie from their childhood. The Lord of the Rings series is my genesis – the films that got me interested in films. Over a decade since their release, I still try to make time for them once a year. Sometimes to once again lose myself in the cinematic world that I fell in love with as a child, sometimes just to see how well they’ve aged (hint: they’ve aged really bloody well).
