I saw it a couple of weeks ago. If you liked the battle scenes in Fellowship, then you most certainly won't be disappointed in Towers. Simply incredible battle scenes, and the story is much more in-depth than the first installment. One recommendation: don't get an extra-large tub o' beverage before sitting down to watch this, unless the restroom is REALLY close by. :)
