As a lotr neophyte(at best) I throughly enjoyed two towers, after being satisfied but not loving the first one. I haven't read anything but i have a friend who loves the movies so, I saw the first one recently and we went and saw two towers.

Gilmi didn't seem ineffectual to me, just ill suited for the tasks in the movie. The worg falling on him was just a string of bad luck.(one falls on him he's about to get up another falls) and at helms deep he can't do anything but wait until the orcs are over the wall. He was used for comic relief but used very well in that situtation(on Conan O'brien they showed the scene with the rohan riders and when the leader is making fun of gimli, and legolas draws the bow, they dubbed over legolas saying "they prefer to be called little people!"

Aragon and the cliff seemed to me to show the connection between the fellowship. It seemed to paralell Gandofs own brush with death except he focused on the past and Gandalf focused on the future.
