Thank you very much for putting the Important thing, I didn't know how to do it.
Plot: Well, on the way to Mordor to destroy the ring, the Fellowhip has had many losses. Gandalf fell to the Balrog, Boromir died defending Merry and Pippin who were to be captured by the Uruk-Hai (a special breed of orcs) and Frodo and Sam left together to destroy the ring themselves. So this leaves Aragorn the man, Legolas the elf, and Gimli the dwarf to go and save Merry and Pippin from the evil Uruk-Hai and Saruman the wizard. So they go on a three day journey across the plains of Rohan at a pace not even Lance Armstrong could match. (harharhar) but as they are running on the third day (sounds kind of biblical) they run into the Rohirrim, the soldiers of Rohan. There they meet Eomer, the leader who tells them that they killed the Uruk Hai and burned the bodies. Thinking Merry and Pippin are dead, the trio is very dismayed obviously. Somehow though, Aragorn uses his ranger skills and figures out that Merry and Pippin ran into Fangorn Forest before they could be killed. And he is right of course, but when Merry and Pippin escaped into Fangorn, they met Treebeard, and ent. Ents are walking talking trees, the oldest race in Middle-earth, and Treebeard is the oldest ent. So the hobbits and Treebeard become fast friends. Then there is the trio of heroes trying to find Merry and Pippin, but they run into an unlikely character. Gandalf! Yes he did die, but when he died he was Gandalf the Grey, he came back as Gandalf the White, a much stronger wizard than he once was. Gandalf tells them of his affairs with the Balrog, and also tells them the the hobbits (M and P) are fine. So Gandalf and co. ride to Edoras, the capital of Rohan. There they find Theoden the king under the spell of Grima Wormtongue, a co-worker of Saruman, sent to corrupt the king. Gandalf frees Theoden of the spell, and throws Wormtongue down the steps. hehe Gandalf takes Grima's place as councellor, and helps Theoden to decide to go to Helm's Deep, a defensive fortress to protect his country from the 10,000 oncoming Uruk-Hai soldiers from Isengard.
In the meantime, Frodo and Sam have crossed into Emyn Muil, which is basically a bunch of jagged rocks, only really high off the ground. There they find Gollum, the retched creature long-sense possesed by the ring. He's no bigger around than my. . .well, let's just say he's thin. Gollum ends up following Frodo and Sam's orders after being tied by the neck to lead them to Mordor. Although Frodo believes Gollum can be changed back to good (which he is actually for a time) Sam however does not. So their relationship is a bit rocky. Gollum leads them after many happenings which I won't get into, to the Black Gate of Moror. The Morannon if I may. But when they are about ready to leave, Gollum says there is ANOTHER way into Mordor. So they turn around and go in a new direction. Then now go through Ithilien, which is guarded unbeknownst to the trio by rangers of Gondor. Headed up by Faramir, brother to Boromir who died saving the lives of Merry and Pippin. As Gollum slips away before being captured, sam and Frody however are caught by Faramir and troops. But nothing really happens here so he lets them go, but Gollum has turned evil again so now, the pass which he spoke of before, he now is leading them into a trap.
Now, Merry and Pippin have convinced the ents to join the war, so the ents march off to Isenguard. The Rohirrim at Helm's Deep are waiting for the Uruk Hai to arrive to fight them. And I forgot to mention that Wormtongue had Eomer and his Rohirrim banished so Gandalf is off trying to find Eomer. Well finally the Uruk-Hai arrive at Helm's Deep. 10,000 Uruks vs. 500 Rohan soldiers. But LO! the Elves arrive too so now it's 10,000 vs. like 800. So then follows the Battle of Helm's Deep, where Legolas and Gimli have a challenge to see who kills more Uruks. Meanwhile back at Isengard, the ents break down the walls, kill a bunch of orcs, (with M and P on Treebeard's back the whole time) and they flood the entire area of Isengard! It's awesome. So Saruman is taken care of, but at Helm's Deep, the Uruks are winning. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, along with Theoden and many other Rohirrim are backed into a room waiting for the Uruks to charge through. On the dawn of the 2nd day I think, the Rohirrim charge out into the huge army of Uruks for one last ride, but as they are charging out, who shows up but Gandalf and Eomer, with 2,000 of his Rohirrim to save the day. So Saruman is totally vanquished, but now they all must go to Gondor to try and get the Gondorian soldiers to help thing in the War of the Ring.
I give this movie a 7.8/10
