The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Gave Us Cinema's Greatest Fantasy Battle, Helm's Deep, 20 Years Ago

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the best entry in Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings trilogy. It was released 20 years ago this weekend. The second entry can't compare to Fellowship or Return of The King, but it can boast the greatest fantasy battle in cinema history. Helm’s Deep is one of Tolkien's most satisfying incarnations. Weta Workshop set a new standard for large-scale action scenes. Peter. Jackson”s film trilogy was a miracle. He was able to hand over the keys to the most famous fantasy fiction IP in history to a relatively untested New Zealand director best known for splatter horror movies.
