Film: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition)

"I am Frodo Baggins, and this is Samwise Gamgee."
"Your bodyguard?"
"His gardener."

Review: Gollum, Wow! A complete CGI character that works. I was worried about how that would turn out, but Peter Jackson nailed it. The Battle of Helm's Deep is amazing, but I enjoy the quieter moments of the movie even more.

Favorite Scene: Aragorn and Gandalf's quiet talk on the fields of Rohan about Frodo leaving the Fellowship with Sam.

"They're thieves! They're thieves! They're filthy little thieves! Where is it? Where is it? They stole it from us, our precious. Curse them! WE hates them! it's ours, it is, and we wants it! We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!"

3 1/2 out of 4 Stars - EPIC
