The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Peter Jackson's epic fantasy sequel following the remaining members of the Fellowship as they go their separate ways. While Frodo and Sam continue their quest to destroy the all-powerful ring, their former companions face the forces of evil, which are massing together in an attempt to overrun Middle-earth. The Academy Awards judging panel may have reserved the Oscars for the third instalment, but in truth this second part is superior, offering a mesmerising battle scene and the first proper glimpse of the wonderfully animated Gollum. Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan and Andy Serkis star
