Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Sauron's forces increase. His allies grow. The Ringwraiths return in an even more frightening form. Saruman's army of Uruk Hai is ready to launch an assault against Aragorn and the people of Rohan. Yet, the Fellowship is broken and Boromir is dead. For the little hope that is left, Frodo and Sam march on into Mordor, unprotected. A number of new allies join with Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Pippin and Merry. And they must defend Rohan and attack Isengard. Yet, while all this is going on, Sauron's troops mass toward the City of Gondor, for the War of the Ring is about to begin. Written by Yuandi Li

Frodo: Gandalf!

Trivia
Sean Astin shot his short film The Long and Short of It (2003) during a re-shoot in New Zealand. LucasFilm was demonstrating its new High Definition Digital Video cameras (used on Star Wars: Episode II - The Attack of the Clones (2002)) for Peter Jackson, and Astin asked the LucasFilm crew if they could stay an extra day so he could use the camera to shoot his short film. They agreed, and Astin shot the film in six hours. See more »Goofs
When Gandalf is riding Shadowfax "bareback", there is clearly a saddle under his robes and his feet are obviously in stirrups. In some frames it appears to be a Western saddle, because as the robes flap around it, Gandalf and/or his stunt double appear to hold the horn. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
One section of credits is for the "Hammerhands" (presumably for carpenters). This is a reference to the name of the "historical" founder of Helm's Deep, Helm Hammerhand. Also, apprentice builders are known as "hammerhands" in New Zealand. See more »Soundtracks

I considered The Fellowship of the Ring to be one of the greatest movies ever. This one is better!
The scenery is marvelous, the animations great, and the story superb. This episode strays further from the books when it comes to the unfolding of events, but I feel that it stays closer in atmosphere and realism; the nazgûls are now the fear-inspiring creatures they should be. Gollum, excellently implemented, even becomes more realistic then I remember him from the books, not to mention other attempts to portray him. His schizophrenic monologues are among the highlights of the movie.
The major drawback is once again the apparent incapability of the dark-side creatures. Aragorn with fellows can ride back and forth among them unhurt, while the Uruk-Hai fall in large numbers just for being nearby. Though I enjoy many of the jokes made at Gimli's expense, this still is another thing I partly dislike. Gimli sure is no clown in the books.
I rate the movie 9/10 (my highest so far).
