How do you make a perfect film? Well, The Lord of the Rings is proving to be on the right path. The second installment is just as emotionally intense as the first, if not more, and the battle scenes are certainly edge-of-your-seat. And the humor... where'd that come from? There were some parts that had me laughing 'till my stomach nearly tore… sorta suggests that the filmmakers weren't taking themselves more seriously than necessary. This is yet another memorable action-adventure that is just as good as the film that came before it. Already, this series is whooping on Star Wars.
