Synopsis
A 4-Disc Collection...

Frodo Baggins and The Fellowship continue their quest to destroy The One Ring and stand against the evil of the dark lord Sauron.

The Fellowship has divided and now find themselves taking different paths to defeating Sauron and his allies. Their destinies now lie at two towers - Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted wizard Saruman waits and Sauron's fortress at Baraddur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.

Extended version featuring increadible new scenes - 5 out of 5  (11/24/2003)
Now, many studios have bought into the growing trend of releasing special, extended, deluxe super-duper editions either along side the standard editions or released slightly after them. While in many such cases these are mere fluff additions but in the case of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, well at least the two episodes currently available on DVD, the additional scenes and material is well worth it. First, in considering the extensions to the actual film they are welcomed and do extend the audi   more >>

Once again, they did it! - 5 out of 5  (1/11/2005)
There is not much to say about this movie that I hadn't already mentioned in the review of "The Fellowship of the Ring". This second part to the story is just as good. What I will mention, and forgot to in my first review, is that the special features on these discs is absolutely amazing! There is simply no other DVD on the market that is as well made or well produced than these! It actually borders on too many goodies. These DVD collections are truly one-of-a-kind and are just as special as the   more >>

The Two Towers will rock you~ - 5 out of 5  (9/7/2004)
The second chapter to the greatest saga since the Star Wars Trilogy, The story continues right off from whence it left off, and I must say one of the greatest openings in motion picture history! The DVD Picture is at a High Bit Rate, awesome quality, the DTS sound is stunning, and the extras are just terrific! If you love the movie you'll love the extra 40 minutes, and I cant wait for the Return of the King Special extended edition! Long Live the King   more >>

Now THIS is The Two Towers - 5 out of 5  (12/1/2003)
I remember the grumblings of some JRRT purists when TTT was released in theatres...this film wasn't as true to the story line as it should have been. They were, for the most part, right about that. Now the purists can rest easy, for this extended version of TTT is lifted almost exactly from the pages of Tolkien's master work and the film benefits greatly from the restored scenes: Helms Deep ends as the book details (that's as much as I'll say here), Theoden's reluctance takes on new meanin   more >>
