Unfortunately it doesn't quite live up to the adventure of the first film. It actually tends to drag in several moments with drawn out scenes of character interaction that does nothing to move the story forward or further develop any personality. There's still several moments that are quite engaging, including the Helms Deep battle and anything involving Andy Serkis' fantastic performance as the demented Gollum. In the end it's a mess of a film even Jackson & co. admitted to having great difficulty trying to assemble but still worth the time if you're a fan of the series.
