Main Topic:

The Two Towers has the fellowship broken, following two pairs of hobbits and the man-elf-dwarf dream team on separate journeys to save Middle-Earth.

The cast couldn't be stronger, and the effects more seamless than in this classic. We could write paragraphs here, but we'd prefer Tommy and DL do their thing to give this epic film justice!

Did the action with the Balrog fight throw you off? Were you distracted by Aragorn's wet dream on a long walk? And did you know they were taking the hobbits to Isengard?
