Summary: Absolutely one of the BEST movies ever!
Review: This movie blew me away with such fantastic action, drama, humor and adventure! I cannot say enough great things about this movie. It's worth the money just to watch Lagolas' trick jump onto the horse as they're racing to fight off the Worgs! As for Gollum, he really stole the show with his good and evil personalities battling with eachother over whether to help the hobbits or lead them to their demise. I cannot wait to see The Return of The King to what Shilob looks like!

Summary: Read the books
Review: the only reason i would buy this dvd is because of the preview for return of the king.Hopefully this movie has inspired people to read the trilogy, as well as the Silmarillion and tolkien's lost tales. Tolkien is a master storyteller and Peter Jackson can only do his best to tell the story faithfully by following the book as closely as possible. This movie trilogy proves that reading the book is much better than the movie.

Summary: good movie for non-purists
Review: the movie is excellent for non-purists, but I agree with previous reviewers that the director added extra drama that is not needed, because the book supplies enough drama and excitement. I think that if they followed the book more closely and did not make a major errors (elves helping Rohan (first born generally do not associate with the Edain); aragorn falling; ents being portrayed as dumb; faramir wanting the ring for gondor, the total opposite of the book) that the movie would be better to watch. The book is dramatic and exciting enough with changing it for movies. Hopefully this problem of not following the book will be rectified in return of the king.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE!!!
Review: "Two Towers" is an awesome movie. If you haven't seen it in theaters (which I think is almost impossible, everyone's seen it) order this now! The movie was a great adaptation from the book (which I've read 56 times, and counting) and you should really listen to those purist people if your normal and just looking for a good movie. *Spoiler* My only bone to pick is with the part where Aragorn falls off the cliff. If you've read the book(s) you know how silly that is (Aragorn DOESN'T fall off cliffs that easy) and how it doesn't seem very Tolkien-ish in its style. Other than that, its great, and the features seem really cool. I'm getting it.

Summary: LotR Two Towers Review
Review: The Two Towers is a movie worth owning on DVD, but it was not as good as the Fellowship of the Ring. I'll get to the bottom line. They left out 7! chapters of the movie. Thats one star lost. Oh, and then they added some scenes that weren't at all necessary to the plot and made the movie no better, and whats more, if they didn't put these useless scenes in, they would have had time to put in the chapters they left out. This is another star deducted. If you ignore these facts, then it was a great movie, especially if you haven't read the books. Peter Jackson had better make a come back in Return of the King, or the whole trilogy will be ruined.

Summary: Not that good
Review: I didn't buy this DVD, the review is based on the theater movie.
I have to say this movie disappointed me. The first movie TFOTR is really good, but this one is too long and many parts should be simply cut out.
The fact I don't like it is not because I am a book purist, but making Aragon fall over a cliff is over the top, why don't just cut it and save me some time? You know he won't die or there won't be the 3rd movie, and he simply rode back without any adventure, just let him day dreaming would be more acceptable. And I can't understand why the camera shifted back and forth and swirled around so much which made me dizzy, and often the scenes were not that scenic. The women characters were so pale, the only purpose for Arwen's role in this movie seems is just to show Lev Taylor's face, and Eowyen couldn't stir any affection. The part Pippin and Merry tricked Treebeard was so outragously stupid it's an insult.
The part I liked was the Ents attacking Isengard but it's too short, the fight in Helm's deep was too long but eye and ear satifiying, though not the brain, Gollum saved the movie from a total disater.

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: The first time I watched "The Two Towers" I was a little confused and disappointed. I was expecting the movie to follow the book a lot closer. The second time I saw it I put the book out of mind completely and found the movie brilliant. Granted Peter Jackson did use some artistic license with the story line, but I think it's for the better. After reading the trilogy for probably the 10th time, I think it would have been difficult for him to follow the story line to the letter. Before criticizing the movie, you need to understand even though millions have read the Trilogy, the majority of people haven't. I took my nephews to see the Fellowship and then The Two Towers. Neither of them have read the Trilogy. When we left the theatre after The Two Towers I felt a little disappointed, while my nephews couldn't wait to see it again. The difference is I went in with Tolkien blinders, whereas they didn't. I was anticipating the plot, they were living it. If you found this movie a disappointment, see it again. But this time, forget about the book. Live the plot, scene by scene. It is a remarkable movie. The movie "A Beautiful Mind" has the same shortcoming. The movie portrayed Nash as a totally different character than the nut he was in real life. Forgetting the book, it was great movie. My only disappointment with "The Two Towers" was the deleted scenes. From what I heard there's going to be about 42 minutes of new footage in the special edition DVD. As with the Fellowship, these deleted scenes filled quite a few gaps, especially for those that read the book. I would have preferred seeing a longer, complete movie in the theatre than having to wait almost a year later to fill in the pieces.

Summary: Tolkien's version vs. Jackson's: can you cope?
Review: The movie is exceptional. It's scale is mindboggling. The battle of helms deep had me shouting praise for my favorite characters as they chopped down their enemies. The ents attacking Isengard was extraordinarily done. The score is brilliant and I have to say I prefer it to the fellowship soundtrack where the first 6 or 7 songs are all variations of the black riders theme of loud screaming choir. *ug* (Though admittedly the rest is quite good). And as with tFotR, the casting of characters in the Two Towers is right on the mark. My hat is off to Peter Jackson for getting the technical job done right. I do have a problem with the story changes. There was a reason why Tolkien wrote things the way he did. Changing Faramir's personality to be a power hungry mongrel is not fair. Faramir was a brave and noble fellow and though Peter might redeem him later, Faramir's character is now blemished. Adding elves at helms deep is also a mistake. In Tolkien's story valliant men overcame insurmountable odds and resisted darkness. Now they are weak and need pansy elves to help them. Before men had the power and strength in their own hearts to achieve victory but in this version they don't. In Tolkien's version the ents choose to help fight evil, in this version they decide not to and then get tricked into helping sort of last-minutey. Thus the ents are now brash creatures that respond to events on a moment to moment basis. It's a small part of the story, but it makes the characters less than they are in the novel. Tolkien believed in the character's choice to stand up to evil. Peter Jackson apparently decided that it's more interesting to throw in more struggle. It doesn't hurt the film, but it isn't as true to Tolkien's war of the Ring as it could be. So I think it's up to you to decide how much these changes will impact your overall enjoyment of the film.

It has amazing special effects, wonderful music (score), and brilliant acting! The action in Two Towers is very intense. The plot the movie has to offer is outstanding! And, best of all, Two Towers has a lot of adventure, fantasy, and drama in it! What more could you possibly want?
