Then there are Merry and Pippin, who escape from their Urak-Hai captors and meet Treebeard, spending the rest of their time persuading him and his tree friends to attack Saruman’s stronghold at Isengard. There’s Aragorn and his gang, who are happily reunited with Gandalf, save King Theoden from Saruman’s influence, and then end up fighting said battle at Helm’s Deep. The Two Towers has, up until this point, been a story of three parts. I’m talking, of course, about Sam’s speech.
It is about two minutes of magic that come at the end of the battle, and don’t even happen at Helm’s Deep itself. This article isn’t really about that though. The entire battle lasts about forty five minutes and it is undeniably spectacular. I think we all know though that the real star of The Two Towers is the Battle of the Hornburg, aka the Battle of Helm’s Deep. Anyway, the point is that there are a lot of moments in The Two Towers that I could have picked as the most memorable Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli’s cross-country extravaganza and Gandalf’s super extra re-appearance in the forest are two that spring to mind.
I don’t think this is too controversial a thing to say but I’m sure I will be corrected by someone on it. The Two Towers is, in my most humble of opinions, the best of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth films.
