The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) - Plot
The two towers between Mordor and Isengard, Barad-dúr and Orthanc, have united in their lust for destruction. The corrupt wizard Saruman, under the power of the Dark Lord Sauron, and his slimy assistant, Gríma Wormtongue, have created a grand Uruk-hai army bent on the destruction of Man and Middle-earth.

The rebellion against Sauron is building up and will be led by Gandalf the White, who was thought to be dead after the Balrog captured him. One of the Ring's original bearers, the creature Gollum, has tracked Frodo and Sam down in search of his 'precious', but is captured by the Hobbits and used as a way to lead them to Mt. Doom. The War of the Ring has now begun...

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) - Plot

Denethor's family has acted as temporary guardians of Gondor for centuries until a member of the true line of kings returns. This member is none other than Aragorn, who must overcome his own self-doubt before he can take on the role he was destined to fulfill. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam continue to carry the One Ring towards Mordor, guided by Gollum. What they don't know is that Gollum is leading them into a trap so that he can reclaim the Ring for himself. Though Sam suspects his deceit, Frodo is starting to be corrupted by the Ring's power and the mistrust of Sam this causes is fully exploited by Gollum. The only way good can prevail in this contest is if the Ring is destroyed, an event that is becoming harder every minute for Frodo to achieve. The fate of every living creature in Middle Earth will be decided once and for all as the Quest of the Ringbearer reaches its climax.

Sanja94 says:
One of the best movies ever...
malkyb says:
Very good indeed! I've read and reread the books many times over the years and the interpretation in the films was top notch!
MelonyVaughan says:
The movies were spectacular and the cast perfect!
glockr says:
I didn't think I would like the movies because I read the books first, and usually when that happens I'm disappointed with the movie. This time was different - the movies were just as good as the books. I was surprised in a good way.
jeffrichley says:
Certainly one of the best books ever written. I just wish they would have had Tom Bombadil. I thought Robin Williams would have done perfectly!
Thumbs Down!
