Two Towers 'even better' than Fellowship - Thursday December 5, 2002 - The Guardian

Advance word is already leaking out on the next instalment of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, following a sneak screening in Los Angeles last night. Fortunately for those involved, the advance word is extremely positive. The general consensus seems to be that The Two Towers is a richer, bloodier and more compelling experience than last year's Fellowship of the Ring.

Sky Movies critic Sandro Manetti gushed that chapter two of the Tolkien epic is "even better than the first Lord of the Rings movie... There is no quiet beginning or setting the scene this time. It's straight into the action from the start and there's no let up for the next three hours. Peter Jackson captures some of the most ferocious battle scenes ever put on film and puts his camera right in among the blood and guts."
