Synopsyis :
Peter Jackson’s magnificent second film of J R R Tolkien’s classic trilogy immediately draws the audience back into the adventure - and what an adventure it is! If The Fellowship of the Ring astonished you, you will be overwhelmed by The Two Towers.
When the first film ended, the Fellowship had been split into three. Hobbits, Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin), continued their journey to Mordor, ruled by the Dark Lord, Sauron. As keeper of the all-powerful One Ring, Frodo had been entrusted to take it to the Crack of Doom to destroy it and prevent Sauron from enslaving the people of Middle-Earth. Frodo and Sam’s Hobbit friends, Pippin (Billy Boyd) and Merry (Dominic Monaghan) were captured by Orcs, while the other members of the small band of heroes, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) and Legolas (Orlando Bloom) searched for them. As it alternates between the adventures of each of these groups, the film widens its already-epic scale and introduces more characters - both good and evil - into the narrative.
Frodo and Sam capture Gollum (voiced superbly by Andy Serkis), a creature of equally repellent and pitiable appearance. Warped in both mind and body by the Ring, which he once owned, Gollum, also known as Smeagol, promises to guide Frodo and Sam to Mordor if they set him free. Sam is suspicious, Frodo prefers to give Gollum his trust and, it seems, is rewarded by his actions when Gollum carries out his side of the bargain and accepts Frodo as his master. Gollum is one of the film’s most astonishing creations - a completely computer generated character that blends in seamlessly with the real actors. A later revelation about Gollum’s much-tormented soul evokes fear and pity. As their journey progresses the Ring also begins to takes its powerful hold on Frodo.
