Movie Synopsis
While the second part continues the style of the first part, the story presents a pattern of multi-line development, and the plot has a higher appreciation value.
At the end of the first part, after Boromir was killed by the orcs, the two hobbits, Pippin and Meli, were also kidnapped by the orcs, Aragorn, the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and the dwarf Jinli Tracking the strong orcs, rescuing Pippin and Merry, and encountering the “resurrected” white-robed wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen). At this time, Saruman, a white-robed wizard who surrendered to Sauron, took control of the king of the human kingdom of Lohan, and sent a large army of strong orcs to prepare to destroy humans. A LaGong, Legolas and Jinli, led by Gandalf, helped the Kingdom of Lohan against the invasion of evil forces.
Luckily, Pippin and Merry were rescued by the talking dryad and met the “resurrected” Gandalf. Under Gandalf’s instruction, the dryad protected the two and took them to the dryad meeting. At the meeting, the dryads discussed their attitude towards the Middle-earth War: should they continue to be neutral and submit to it, or rise up and resist?
Frodo (played by Elijah Wood) and Sam, who are burdened with heavy responsibilities, continued to march towards the Doom Mountains and were followed by Gollum along the way. Frodo became the master of Gollum by relying on the power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings. They arrived at the entrance to the Doom Mountains, the Black Gate. Just as they were about to enter, Boromir’s brother Famor appeared and brought them back to Gondor. Frodo has encountered a new crisis: Farmer wants to use the power of the One Ring to counter Saruman’s attack…
