THE PLOT:

Frodo and Samwise continue on their way to Mount Doom in order to destroy the ring and stop the forces of Soron from destroying Middle Earth. Along the way they are attacked by Gollum, the creature Uncle Bilbo stole the ring from so many years prior. Gollem lost the fight to the two Hobbits and is taken prisoner.

Meanwhile the other members of the Fellowship make plans to defend the peaceful kingdoms from an onslaught of the forces of Mongol. While Merry and Pippin befriend a Dryad named Treebeard after escaping their captors.

Frodo convices Gollem to help and tries to awaken the man within the monster, but Gollem is leading them into a trap that there be no escape.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

As good as the first movie, it's very exciting. I wish Gandolf did more magic in this one, a wizard didn't do much wizzing. Kick a good porton of Mordor monster ass, but no magic. Anyway, the effects were great, the story was close to the original story. All and all an almost perfect movie. I give it 9 out of 10 STARS

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agree with Zedd, I wish there was more magic in this one. But I also think that if you weren't kean on the first one, you won't like this one. I enjoyed this one quite a bit and I also give it 9 out of 10.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ STORY (The story is cool and stays fateful to the book.)
+ CAST (The cast is cool, like the edition of Brad Douriff.)
+ MONSTERS (Cool new monsters in this one, as well as the old ones returning.)
+ ACTING (Oscar worthy performances from the entire cast.)
+ DIALOG (Great dialog.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- NO MAGIC (There was a really lack of magic in this one.)

AND FINALLY....

- FAN BASED (If you weren't a fan of the first movie or the novels then this isn't for you.)
