When Gandalf arrives with reinforcements, descending a near-vertical slope using horses where you or I would use snowboards, the spirit of triumphant rampage is something rarely glimpsed since the days of Olivier and Henry V.

To live up to expectations, The Two Towers only had to be as good as its predecessor -- and, astoundingly, it's better.

The battle for Gollum's mind also provides a fitting teaser conclusion to the second act of a story I'm beginning to wish would never end.

Part two is more a straight-ahead action flick, substituting brawn and brawling for the pastoral radiance of the first film.
