At least I thought so. The battle scene in the rain in TTT was much more realistic and hella cool. i mean the Zombie Army was just crap.
Plus, TTT was much more kick ass. I dunno. What do you think?

i have to agree that TTT is better than ROTK but not WAY better ,
Telperaca
In my opinion, TTT had way more action that RotK, which is why I preffered it much more. The Helm's Deep battle was really excellent, it was actually better than how I imagined it would actually be.
I aslo thought that they made RotK a little cheesy towards the end with all the hugging. My a$$ was really sore by the end of that an I remember thinking "I love you, but I'm really gonna walk out of here if you don't finish NOW!!"

They could have just skipped that part and if it was really necessary, it could have just been added to the EE-RotK.
TTT was also slightly less confusing and just -simply put- awesome!

Yup, definitely
I personally also liked TT better than RoTK, at least the battle scenes, mainly because of the great atmosphere in TT as the Battle of Hornburg was fought at night and while it was raining... and TT was generally less megalomaniac than ROTK, and less monumental, which I quite liked... on the other hand, there were way too many changes in the second film

What?
Are you insane
You all just lile TT better because it has legolas all wet in it

and, though i can see your point droolio, nothing beats big elephants standing on people.
While the battle in tt may have been darker and more monumental and more epic and more sexy and more wet that the one it rotk, the TT battle was changed too much, why didnt aragorn give his speech?
Thinking the orcs will leave in the light, and then they dont

Aragorn proved wrong, something i would have liked to see
but no, they have to spoil it by giving the morning scene to gandalf who rides down a hill too steep to ride down while the sun rises to quickly, if travels a third of the sky in 5 minutes, are M:E days 15 minutes now?
In ROTK we get big giant spiders, we get to see sam finally give in to temptation (no, not that one, he marries rosie, not frodo) and totally bray gollum about, we get to see captain barbosa make his cameo with orlando bloom again as a pirate ghost thingy. We get to see gandalf get smashed to bits (no, not off the hobbit weed eezy) by the witchking.
Then we get to see the frodo sam shippers weep as sam marries rosie, we get to see them jump for joy when he gives sam a hug thats 0.324 seconds longer than he gives to merry and pippin, this must mean something.
Nut at least when we left TT we could think "im back next year"
so, h'away the hobbit

lol damn all the good replies have came in.
the "zombie army" - get a grip buddy.
Meh the TTT helsm deep battle did have a magnificant build up to it, but you certainly can't beatthe ride of the rohhirm.....nothing in cinematic history of my life (yep the 16 year history) has made me soo happy to see that scene.

I have to agree with this. After I came out of the third movie, I was sort of like... I liked the second one better. They both were extremely good films, but I just felt like the Helm's Deep was more stirring than all the ROTK battles, and I liked how the two separate journey's had started... meh, everything else has been said.

LMAO

TTT is better then ROTK but I must say the first time I saw ROTK i liked it better then TTT
Neo_Version 7
But now i'm guessin you like TTT now right?
Dejio
I personally liked TTT better too. It has a more 'solid' feel to it.
Telperaca
I disagree that everyone likes TT because it has Legolas all wet in it! I'm not EVEN a Legolas fan to be honest!
(I'm a Aragorn fan!)
*drool*
But that's not the reason I like TT more!

Neo_Version 7
Ditto. Im a guy.
Discos
lol ditto!
meh, how can it have a more "solid" feel to it. It pretty much showed you what royatly would do to save their people back in those days. The film tried to plot around a 3-way love affair with aragorn,arwen and eowyn
Darth Sauron
He just used solid as a seperate way of saying 'hard' because it had wet legolas in it, and arwen in see through gowns....
darktim1
I think the two towers battle scene can stand on it's own but when return of king special exstended edition comes out the battle is going to be bigger I like all the movies and thought they were dead at helms deep but not and eowyn gowns were beatiful when I saw her in trailer I had to see the movie .
Darth Sauron
ROTK demolished TTT
Eleves at helms deep?
Arwen at helms deep?
No thank you mr jackson, bring on the spiders!
Nazgul lord
Do you mean the book was better or tha movie?, cause i reckon rotk the book was way better and i loved the scoring of the shire.
Neo_Version 7
Dude, yeah i have to agree. ROTK (book) was better TTT. The Scoring was awesome. It sucks that it wasnt in the movie.
Nazgul lord
Dude i totaly agree, i thought that the scouring was awsome and think it shold have been in the movie!
Agent Elrond
TTT was good, but I liked RotK more. TTT seemed kinda boring, until the endm but the battle dragged on for waaay too long. It was a chapter in the book, yet took up 40 mins in the movie. In RotK, the battles were more spread out, so there was always action within a short amount of time. RotK felt more truer to the book than TTT
Telperaca
The battle dragged on too long? No way!! The battle was good BECAUSE it was long, and it was done well, not just pathetic and puny. I thought that was one of the best battle scenes I've EVER seen. The BEST!!
It was a chapter in the book only because Tolkien maybe didn't want to write much about it and instead prefered us to use out imagination.

(Just a choice).

I was never a huge fan of either the Fellowship of the Ring or the Two Towers, but when I watched the Return of the King, I was amazed! It is by far my favorite, just for the battle where we get to see all the riders get trampled! It was so well done in my eyes and the epic mount doom scene made me get get goose bumps. Many may not share in my opinion and that is obviously okay, but I loved the Return of the King more that any of the others. Did anyone else find the death of Smeagle (or however you spell it) a little uneventfull?
-peace out...

Without seeing the EE of ROTK i cant say what my favourite is. So far FOTR EE is my top pick, the battles in all the movies are great but for me it doesnt define the whole movie. The charge of the Rohhirm alone makes the battle in ROTK the best and come ROTK EE i think it will be an even bigger margin. Seeing the Nazgul on the fell beasts in battle was amazing to. As for the "long soppy" ending in ROTK, after over nine hours of story telling a 20 minute ending isnt too much IMO. Imagine how long it would be if you added the Scouring of the Shire (which i'm glad they left out, it may look good on paper but not on film).

until the ents came along, and the battle of helms deep, TTT was boring, plus i watched it like 5 times in a row so i got really sick of it. ive watched RotK twice, so it seems alot more interesting to me. the book was definatly more interesting. and the battle was better in TTT
