Summary: In answer
Review: Yes, actually several scenes were reworked and reshot. So even though the final length of the movie is not 40 minutes longer than the original there are 40 minutes worth of new footage. If this was confusing move to Florida...

Summary: Another Leading LOTR DVD
Review: As with the first Extended Edition, this DVD does NOT disappoint. It is truly a collectors dream. It is more than apparent that director Peter Jackson is a true fan and lover of the novels and wants to give the fans of both the movies and the books exactly what they want: perfection.

Review: "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" Special Extended DVD Edition is as good, or if not better, than "The Fellowship of the Ring" Extended Edition! The extra scenes in this movie are really cool and are very exciting! I am glad to own the first two Special Extended DVD Editions of "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy! I can't wait to own the Extended Cut of "The Return of the King" in 2004. Anyway: "The Two Towers" Extended Cut DVD is a whole lot better than the theatrical version and has a whole lot more story-line which makes the film more understandable. This DVD is very cool!

Summary: Extended Excellence
Review: I loved The Two Towers even more than Fellowship, so to see an extra 40+ minutes is a real treat. More action, more heart, more Ents, more Gollum, and more character development. The 2 flashback sequences of Faramir are the real standout here, fleshing out his character so much more, making him seem more like the beloved character from the books. The extras are amazing, especially "From Book to Script" where Boyens discusses the changes between (duh) the book and the movie. Also of interest was "Cameras in Middle Earth" and the documentaries on Gollum and sound and music in LOTR. Obviously, this is a must for fans of the movie, as well as aspiring directors of any kind because you really get to see the hard work that is poured into a film.

Summary: A stunnig ride through Middle Earth
Review: Making a lord of the rings movie was never going to be easy. But if somone is good enough to pull it off it Peter Jackson.
This movie is overwhelming. It takes you from the depths of the forest to the highest mountain top.
You really cant imagine how they were able to make some of the scenes, such as the war scene, look so real.
The good thing about this movie is that its not a hollywood flick. Its not Lord of the Rings starring Julia Roberts and Tom Cruise. The film tries to stay as true as they can to the story itself. Allthough a ew changes are neccesary becouse we dont have time to watch a 10 hour movie.
In the end its a great visual ride through Middle Earth, with good visual effects and good acting. Enjoy it, but if you have read the book then dsont expect it to be exactly like the book.
By the way it was great to see an iclandic singer do the theme song. Her name is Emilina Torreini and she allso wrote Kylie Minouge's song Slow. Emilinas video to the theme song is on the dvd, Björk was offered to do the theme song first but she refused.

Summary: Do the Math
Review: I'm a bit confused. If the original theatrical release was 179 minutes and this version is 208 minutes, how can they say they've added over 40 minutes of footage. Have they edited some stuff out as well?

Summary: I feel bad
Review: that I don't like this or the first movie. I don't know what it is. I guess I think my imagination of the Shire and Middle Earth is better than what can be presented in a film. I give Peter Jackson a lot of credit for such wonderful efforts, but I am not entertained here. The golem was the closest character to my dreams. He fit into what I think of Tolken's worlds. I found him to be the most human and not an abstracted hero. His tortured psyche was easy to grasp and connect with. The hero-esque humans and elves bored me. And Elijah Wood cannot act. I really wanted to like the movie, but I was quite disappointed.
