I REALLY LOVE ALL THE FILMS! so the're might be some violence, but you can see it's fake, like those orcs, they really don't look real, but if youre kid has a weak stomach, than i coul understand,, GREAT MOVIES!:D

I find it strange that this is iffy but the first an third (the 3rd was much more violent, anyway) are on. I believe that this movie is appropriate for anyone who has read the book, which starts and ends differently than the film. Yes, it is violent, but there's not much blood and gore and the battles are for a good cause. Note that there are times where supposedly characters die but this is just a misunderstanding or they survive; these typically don't happen in the book. The scale of the final battle is shown as dark (at night) and rainy, so very little is seen, and it involves a lot of crazy stunts that makes it really enjoyable to watch. But the messages highlighted in the CSM review are all present and the characters are very moral, though Faramir, one of the most beloved characters in the book, acts very differently and has moral conflictions but understands what's right and the end. I love how Tolkien (and Jackson) emphasized how the role of women (like Eowyn, who wants to prove herself and doesn't like being told she is a girl and must stay out of battle) and those who are younger (like Merry and Pippin or hobbits in general, who also carry out valiant deeds and prove themselves) were often underestimated, even in medieval settings. Anyway, there's also a brief kissing scene in a dream between Aragorn and Arwen--whose character is very built up in the movies--but nothing too extensive.

awesome movie, scary and bloody, disturbing images, highly epic and intense.

love this movie there is 1 huge battle scene at the end wich is violent orcs r scary for kids

This is an O.K. movie, but it has a weird, gross orc-eating scene, and then some decapitating and stabbing. It's worse than the first, so don't see it until you're a teenager.

The Two Towers is a magnificent continuation of The Lord of the Rings. There seems to be a deeper emotional depth here, though the battle scenes are quite long. The biggest treat the film has to offer is Gollum, a unique blend of acting from Andy Serkis and CGI effects. Note to Parents: Although this is a fine spectacle, the battle scenes are longer and a bit bloodier in this chapter than in The Fellowship of the Ring. Teens and up.
