Lord of the Rings- The Two Towers

This, the second installment of the trilogy, has everything possible going for it. Here, we are plunged full-force into the heart of the story. The action is great, and the battle scenes are out of this world. The battle of helm's deep is by far the most awesome battle scene ever on film, unless it's the battle of Minais Tirath in the third LOTR movie. The computer generation is once again very awesome, and there's plenty of action, romance, humor, and overall great storyline. I would recommend watching the first one before this one, because unlike many trilogies, this one picks up right were the last abruptly left us hanging. There was obviously a lot of work put into tis movie, and it payed off. Go rent this whole series and watch it! When there is no bad language, no immodesty, and moderate violence, what more can you ask? Some families object to there being magic in anything. However, this movie has clear-cut good versus evil, and magic is part of the fiction. I am constantly reminded of the spiritual power that exists in real life when I see this movie series. Great movie, go see it.
I have to give this one a solid 10. I liked some movies better than this, but because this one does not have the language or immodesty, it doesn't loose any rating for that.
