" He hurls viewers right into the thick of it, reasonably figuring that between the first film's $860 million worldwide gross and huge video sales, pretty much everybody in the theater has seen Chapter 1
The film bogs down in a romantic triangle involving Aragorn, his elfin love Arwen (Liv Tyler, seen mostly in flashbacks and dream sequences) and Eowyn Likewise, some momentary mystery over Aragorn's fate feels tacked on for melodrama 'The Lord of the Rings' Steps Up Action
Dec 16, 6:47 PM EST
It looks alike, it sounds alike, it lasts as long
Barely mentioned in Tolkien's text, Arwen was admirably augmented into a key heroic figure in the first film to add a female touch along with Cate Blanchett's elf queen Galadriel, also briefly seen in "Two Towers
Pint-sized hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), the bearer of the ring that evil lord Sauron needs to enslave the world, and his companion Sam (Sean Astin) head for Sauron's lair in Mordor, where they must cast the ring into the fires of Mount Doom Two and a half stars out of four "
Visually, the motion, creatures and panoramas of "The Two Towers" dazzle even more than those of "Fellowship
Meantime, the human Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) and elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom) track the vicious orcs that carried off hobbits Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) More a background player in "Fellowship," Rhys-Davies becomes a scene-stealer here with a string of hearty one-liners and sight gags
PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 "
This time, Arwen comes off as a halfhearted afterthought
They reluctantly fall in with twisted soul Gollum, a computer-generated character creepily voiced by Andy Serkis in what is arguably the film's best performance " While prolonged and repetitive at times, the action is ferocious, and the emergence of one or two returning players plus the addition of intriguing new characters spice up the tale Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian
While the three-hour "Fellowship" left audiences craving more (a wish satisfied in the extended-edition version on video), "Two Towers" feels padded by side trips that offer more to look at without improving the view
NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted
Once his "Lord of the Rings" is complete, "The Two Towers" might come to resemble that flat midsection of London's Tower Bridge, a sturdy, necessary span between a pair of impressive spires
Part two is more a straight-ahead action flick, substituting brawn and brawling for the pastoral radiance of the first film
Those five, plus back-from-the-dead wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), are soon engaged in a colossal battle against Sauron's ally, the wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee)
Director Peter Jackson and company take more liberties with Tolkien's text this time, with less success than the departures made in "Fellowship of the Ring
PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested
"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," a New Line release, is rated PG-13 for epic battle sequences and scary images
Joining the fight are the people of Rohan, humans with a Norse demeanor, including King Theoden (Bernard Hill), fighting maiden Eowyn (Miranda Otto) and her brother Eomer (Karl Urban) Yet "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is a lesser fantasy world than last year's "The Fellowship of the Ring," the first installment in the film trilogy of J R
â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions:
G â€â€? General audiences
Not surprisingly, Jackson says his favorite of the trilogy is part three, when the big payoff arrives R
R â€â€? Restricted
Considering all three films were shot simultaneously, though, it's a given that the epic grandeur of the first has carried through to the second, and that it will be duplicated in next year's conclusion, "The Return of the King " Trying to open up a sometimes staid and passive story, Jackson and his three co-writers make good-faith stabs at enriching the drama cinematically, yet they stumble down some blind alleys
Bloom as Legolas and especially Rhys-Davies as Gimli step to the fore, their playful affinity springing to life as they solidify an unlikely friendship in a world where elf and dwarf normally despise one another
Frodo and Sam also encounter Faramir (David Wenham), brother of their slain comrade Boromir, who leads a band of humans battling Sauron's swelling forces Once a hobbitlike creature, Gollum was the keeper of the ring for 500 years and has been corrupted by its evil Some material may be inappropriate for young children Some material may not be suitable for children
The fractured fellowship charged with destroying a ring of absolute evil has embarked on separate journeys All ages admitted
Jackson dispenses with the sort of scene-setting, narrated prologue that opened "Fellowship Rhys-Davies provides the voice of the key Ent, Treebeard
Besides Gollum, the villainous Grima Wormtongue (Brad Dourif) is the most interesting new character, Dourif positively oozing slime in his betrayal of King Theoden Running time: 179 minutes Tolkien's epic
Also entering the siege are Middle-earth's oldest creatures, the Ents, forest shepherds that resemble living, mobile trees
