I just saw The Two Towers (I won free tickets to a press screening, lucky me!). While I didn't like it quite so well as the Fellowship of the Ring, which I thought was brilliant, it is still very well worth the price of admission. The Battle of Helm's Deep alone lays any other screen battle in the shade for size, action, believability and splendor. It's troubles were many inherent to its position as the middle movie of the trilogy. It had no clear beginning -- it just started in the middle of things, and no clear end. Moreover, the movie had to keep track of at least three separate story lines at all times, because the Fellowship has broken up. This made the story a little jumpy to begin with, and there were some dream sequences, flashbacks, and flashforwards that made the movie jump around even more. But visually it was incredible, the acting was excellent, and as with the first movie, every scene had so much to take in that I felt like I was trying to drink from a fire hose. I will have to see this movie two or three times just to feel that I've really "seen" it even once. Now I have to wait another year for Return of the King. sigh.
