Slipping but still great
I think the story in The Two Towers isn't as strong as the one in the Fellowship or Return of the King. But still, if you want to see Return of the King, it will make no sense to you unless you see this second movie.

This is the tale of the battle for Helms Deep.
This story picks up where "Fellowship of the Ring", left off. The fellowship apparently divided in its direction and even thought the immediate purposes diverge and converge the urgency of getting the ring to Mordor is ever present. We are lucky in the fact that J. R. R. Tolkien will completely follow each participant's path from beginning to end. All the wars are covered in detail and the progress of the ring bearer is chronicled. New creatures and old vermin reveal themselves.

As with Ramayana, we find that every creature has his/her function and that there is no black and white in this purpose. Frodo alludes to this when he thinks of Gandalf, Aragorn, and Gollum. Even Gandalf tells not to hurt Gollum as he may play a larger role in the story that one could imagine.


My favorite
All the movies in this series are great, but I think The Two Towers is the best in the series. The acting is great, and it has some of the best special effects in the history of cinema. I think all the actors played there roles extremely well. I think The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the best book adaptation ever.
