The second installation of The Lord of the Rings saga sees multiple developments in the tale along with Frodo (Wood) and Sam's (Astin) onward journey to Mordor. The Fellowship gets divided with the Death of Gandalf and Boromir and Frodo and Sam's decision to go onward by themselves. Merry (Boyd) and Pippin (Monaghan) are kidnapped by a team of Orcs and are being taken to Saruman assuming that they are the ring-bearers. Aragon (Mortensen) along with Gimli (Rhys-Davies) and Legolas (Bloom) need to make their way to Rohan and persuade King Theoden (Hill) to join in the war against Mordor and fight for the lands and for the race of Men. The story takes a drastic turn with multiple war developments and the fight for freedom. The first movie was a journey but the second movie has transcended into a fight for freedom and has more aggression. Where the first movie had the scope of appearing to be slow, this one is far more fast paced and will never allow your attention to divert. A brilliant watch and you won't realise how the 4-odd hours have passed.
Thumbs up: Great story-telling
Thumbs down: None, whatsoever
Rating: 8.5/10
