Summary: Horrible, boring, just the worst - An Abomination
Review: The Two Towers is just the worst. Hobbits are so boring. The bad guys are so lame, they're werent even any missiles or guns or bombs. This movie is a grotesque abomination. Don't see it. Don't buy it. And oh yah, the DVD is trash as well - its less appealing than a rat vomit.

Summary: Once again, better than the original theatrical release
Review: Most DVD's with "bonus" footage include cut scenes and various throwaways that the director had some fondness for. This version, however (which I had the good fortune to see in the theater before the release of Return of the King) is much better than the original release, because the materials that are worthy are incorporated back into the story, and seemlessly so. The most interesting (and frightening) addition are the Huorns, ent-like trees that move. The final destruction of the Orcs, while not bloody (you don't even see them) is nonetheless more than a little disturbing. The added scenes with Faramir and Boromir together also helped flesh out the story a good deal. A word of caution for the two or three people who've read Tolkien's books and not yet seen this movie: This installment of the LoTR diverts the farthest from the storyline in the novel. Personally, I thought the changes, while giving Eowyn more exposure, were on the whole not helpful to the story line (most importantly, the residents of Edoras, rather than retreating to Dunharrow, actually move TOWARD Isengard to hole up in Helm's Deep. Still and all, a tremendous movie, and one I'll enjoy seeing again.

Summary: Sadly, It`s Just Another Blockbuster
Review: There are some records out there that have two or three good songs and the other ones are just boring filler material. In fact, I would bet that most albums are precisely like that. Well, this second "Lord of the Rings" episode proves that this kind of situations also happens with movies. I mean, this picture is well directed, the acting is competent and the sceneries and locations are excellent. But, for the most part, it`s an uninteresting, repetitive and long movie with few standout moments. It drags for about three hours, and at least two seem like lifeless and dull filler."The Fellowship of the Ring" was average either, but I was more tolerant since it was the first part of the trilogy and I could deal with the whole introductory scenes and the nonexistent character development. However, this second movie doesn`t get any better and still presents structural problems and an uneven pacing. When I was about to quit, something mildly engaging kept happening only to return to flat situations again. This flawed rythm persists during most of the movie, and at the end I thought this was an average flick at best.
Some characters hold promise, but they are never developed and seem like one (or two, in excepcional cases) dimensional individuals. Frodo`s dangerous obssession with the ring was interesting, yet it only became more gripping during the last minutes of the movie, after a tiresome and tedious battle sequence. I admit the cliffhanger at the end kept me somewhat curious about the third part, but with little excitement. Director Peter Jackson has done quirky films in the past ("Heavenly Creatures" was a much, much better "fantasy" movie than this overrated and disappointing trilogy) but here he isn`t more than a competent, by-the-numbers taskmaster. This is just another action-oriented flick with a tepid score and appealing eye candy. I`m really losing faith on this epic story.

Summary: Greatest DVD ever made!
Review: This extended edition of "Lord of The Rings" is the greatest DVD that has ever been made. The original version is a masterpiece but this extended makes an already stunning masterpiece all the more intense! There are so many new and unincorporated footage put into the movie itself that it gives the movie a whole different tone altogether. The third and fourth discs are amazing showcasing the huge amount of work put into making the films. This is the greatest DVD gift set ever created and the statue of Gollum is really nice. Get both Gift Sets because they are amazing. Enough said.

Summary: :-)
Review: The extended edition Two Towers footage was much more worth while than for Fellowship. Much more fleshing out of the subplots and characters. Less explanatory footage so I did not feel so spoon fed. Included are storyline explainations to placate the purists. The Aragorn Arwen love interest gets a lot of attention as does Aowen providing more triangle tension. Faramirs character/subplot gets much more attention and detailed thus making him a more "real" person. I recall someone asserting racism to the Ring trilogy, with Faramirs story line in mind one can only say that those who are determined to find shall find their determination. The climactic battle did not get much more attention, I had desired more detail on the sally out from the keep as I thought this was the weakest part of the battle. The Ents did get more attention however Saruman was still a bystander to the fight. Hard to nitpick such a fine film but even with movie length extension footage the job is never finished. This movie trilogy could go on and on and on... after all, we are only discussing the final chapters of the Third Age! All in all the Two Towers extended edition is well worth the extra cash for those with the fortitude to sit out a 4 hour movie. This reminds me of the Chinese Heroic Drama's... only 16 chapters long! I look forward to Return of the King Extended edition.

Summary: Bound to be a classic - one of the best movies out there.
Review: I was hooked after watching the first part FOTR and decided to pick up the books after to see what I was missing and I read all three from front to end before watching the rest of the movies. I'd have to say that the movies have been kept as close as possible to the book, although it has left out many a scene but c'mon, if Jackson actually tried to keep to the book, we'd be watching 8 hour movies or 10 sequels! I know that it took me more than 3 hours to finish one book of LOTR but should a movie which is already packing as much detail as beautifully as it does become any longer? It does also add more emphasis to women's roles in the movie which I felt was a refreshing take and a good call. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the book to be great and Jackson is a director who has more sense and creativity than to just take the story straight from the book. To those who said the villains weren't scary enough, this isn't a horror movie like Friday the 13th which wasn't by the way scary and the emphasis is on friendship, bravery, and hope. In a nutshell, the movie, and this dvd, with tons of extra footage, was a masterpiece, and I with that, I leave my two cents.

Summary: The Lord of The Rings the Two Tower's
Review: This movie is Great! I own the Platinum Series Special Extended Edition. I never read the books, although I sould have when they were offered to me in the 1970s. Hindsight is 20/20 they say. It's worth your time and money to own this DVD! I own the first edition Lord of The Rinds-Fellowship of the ring as well in the same format at above!!

Summary: A vast improvement on the original...
Review: This DVD blew me away. It was such a vast improvement that I almost think of it as a different movie. The extra material is great too, of course, but the extra scenes really made the movie. There is a great flashback scene with Faramir, Boromir, and their father, Denethor, that was very important. In my opinion, it should have been kept in the theatrical version! Anyway... this is an awesome DVD, and a great value as well. I can't wait till the extended ROTK!

Summary: A box full of rocks.
Review: New and out of the shrink wrap my DVDs won't play. I wonder how many people are getting rooked. For the price they charged you'd think they could at least put working DVDs in those pretty cases!! PS: I have multiple DVD players in perfect condition. I play hundreds of DVDs (and keep all of them scratch free), when I say they are defective it is because they are.
