Summary: Lord of the Dingleberries
Review: It cracks me up that all you losers are giving this movie five stars. Move out of your parents basements already and take a chance and kiss a girl. What is this movie but a bunch of wizards and dwarfs and fairys running around and killing eachother over a wedding ring? It's beyond laughable. I'd rather be electrocuted with high voltage testicular clamps than watch a movie with repressed queer eye for the straight guy themes. A bunch of men hanging out with fairys--"Oh yeah, I get it!" This movie is all bad acting from the word go. I have a theory on why people love this trilogy. They feel that because the filmakers and writers and actors try so hard to make an "Epic Saga of Biblical Proportions" that they (the movie-goers) must give the film crew great reviews. I am different. I will not give good reviews to a movie just because it takes the time from middle earth till now, just to watch it. And now I, the great wizard will cast a spell. I call it the "I'm too influenced by movie advertising and narrow minded hype storms to think for myself spell." See, it's already working. Now go out and see the whole trilogy, fairy. While you're there, I'll be taking your girlfriend out to dinner.Part Two: Clearly, my review has upset Ian V. Shiff (his review is just above mine). And having done such a thing I would now feel remiss if I did not offer a humble, heartfelt apology. So, I would just like to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you're a nimble minded fool. I'm sorry that your vocabulary is so weak you have to resort to profanity just to get your point across, but most of all I'm sorry that you're a glasses-wearing acne-faced nerd. But if you want to blame somebody blame the Lord, and that's the Lord of humanity, not the Lord of the Dingleberries (just in case you got the two confused). And for the Lord's sake, stop wearing your hobit outfit to the movies (You look absurd and hobbits aren't real). And, contrary to what you'be been told, prancing around in your underwear while you re-enact the movie scenes in your bedroom is NOT cool, and chicks will not understand that. Don't forget to write your parents a rent check! Take care for now, Dingleberry.

Summary: Fix the frickin case!
Review: I love the Lord of the Rings extended edition DVDs so much; but I often wonder if the wonder of the extended editions are half in the cases that hold them: Amazing leather textures, beautiful artwork, and symbols from Tolkien. But this new one. Is cheep milk carton paper. I baby my DVD especially my Lord of the Rings extended edition DVDs; but I've opened my DVD probably no more than five times and it's already falling apart. It's a shame, shame, shameful thing. It stinks; and I hope they repair their error and go back to the original manufacturer of the Fellowship of the Ring DVD. This new one look good behind shrink-wrap, but once you open it, it feels cheep and falls apart. Shame on you Jackson for allowing such a beautiful movie to be placed in such a stupid case.

Summary: -PART TWO- of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Review: Following after The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers continues off with Frodo and Sam on the quest to bring the ring to Mt. Dune. They discover later that Golem (Smeagle) is following them and they engage in confrontation. They fight at first and they have Golem lead the way to the black gates. Aaragorn, Legolas, and Gimili set on their side of the journey to meet up with Frodo and Sam but also finding the other two hobbits (Merry and Pippin). Merry and Pippin are taken by orcs and they escape into a forest where the tree's come alive at night. They make friends with the leader of the woods and they go on an adventure together. Later, Aaragorn, Legolas, and Gimili meet up with someone they thought they would never see again. They meet up with Gandalf who is now Gandalf The White after beating the "ancient beast" known in the first as "shadow and flame". They reunite and set off to Mordor. In my own opinion, I thought The Two Towers was alright when I saw the ORIGINAL theatrical release. When I bought the Special Extneded DVD Edition, it was better because they show a lot of extra footage and extended takes which explained more like in the Fellowship on the extnded edition. The Two Towers is something that everyone should have if you are a fan of The Lord of the Rings. GO AND GET IT ^_^ This is my review on The Two Towers. Thankyou

Summary: Middle Earth.......Amazing
Review: Being a fan of Fellowship of the Ring I couldn't wait for this Extended edition of the Two Towers. The film is amazing I'm sure that enough people have said glowing things about this film already. I personaly feel that this DVD is one of the finest ever made. The extra's alone are mindblowing. Amazing directing by Peter Jackson. I have to say that I love this title more than the first, gives me the same feeling as Empire Strikes Back did Amazing and the best of the trilogy.
But it stops there because Return of the King is the Film of the Decade so far. Get this DVD it will cause you to buy the other extended editions and you will never watch this film in the other format.

Summary: I have waited 25 years for this...70's version is better!
Review: My life has been saved by this magical rollercoaster of a film! I have read everything by Tolkien ( except all that academic stuff he REALLY wanted to be remembered for)and I just live for this stuff! I even wish and dream of the day whem my fantasy novel gets made into a movie! I am a 35 year old writer of novels and I can only hope that my 1000000 page book will make such a wonderfull film! This film SAVED my life! This film gave millions of people just like Me a reason to get up in the morning. Not to mention that The Lord of The Rings provided me with an excuse for social interaction. Yes, this is more than just a film folks, it is A WAY OF LIFE! Before this film I was nobody-now I am on a fantastic quest of my own! I WILL become the next Tolkien!!I might even get some of my buddies together and go on my own magical, mystical journey! Zooooom-a-loom! I have the power! Everyone MUST see these films. They are not only the best that the world of cinema has to offer, but they are essential for helping mankind see his destiny! Yes folks they are THAT good. Now, if I could only meet a nice elve/gnome/hobbit woman to walk hand-in-hand with through this magical, mystical and fantastical universe! Is my princess out there? Maybe, Tolkien films and books lead to failure with the opposite sex? That's what my doctor says anyway. What does he know anyway? It's not like he is a wizard or anything! Now, please excuse me, I have to crawl back into the fort that I made out of blankets underneath my parent's stairs.

Summary: The Two Towers all sequels!
Review: I'm not going to get bore you with details, I will say that the Lord of the Rings series is the best Trilogy ever made ( next to the original Star Wars !)The opening sequence in this movie is one of the most incredible things ever to be on screen! If you love the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Genre then you must own this extended DVD
The quality is the best, sound is awesome, and the extras are awesome! I can't wait for Return of the King to come out on DVD!

Summary: Once again, extended beats original. By a mile.
Review: I never expected this. When I sat through it in the theater, I thought The Two Towers was too long. I felt the battle scenes were tiring, difficult to endure. But, having been stunned with the extended Fellowship (far superior to the theatrical release), I decided to give the Two Towers another try. To put it plainly, you really haven't seen this movie until you've seen the extended version. Humor. Important "back stories." Better, more coherent editing. Not only did the movie grip me and keep my attention for its entire length, I want to watch it again. Soon. This is a great investment in a great movie. I can't recommend it highly enough for those who liked the theatrical versions, as well as those who came away disappointed to one degree or another.

Summary: Even better than the theatrical cut
Review: My first impression of The Two Towers was that while it was epic in scope and masterfully done, it was not quite as good as 2001's The Fellowship of the Ring. All the films are meant to be viewed as one, of course, but the first, and the third films in the trilogy are definitely on a higher level. That much said, The Two Towers extended DVD edition definitely improves upon the film to the point where it now rivals it's predecessor and sequel both. Adding another 40 minutes to the movie, the extended cut is able to flesh out the characters even more deeply than the theatrical cut, and it is also able to deliver moments from the books which were not to be found in the original version. Some of the most noticeable enhancements are the enlargening of beautiful Miranda Otto's tragic role as Eowyn, and the addition of some new scenes of Merry and Pippin in Fangorn Forest (which helps to break up the awkward pacing of the original version of this subplot). We also learn Aragorn's age (he's over 80!), we see the Huorns appear at the battle of Helm's Deep (a fascinating little subplot from the books), and we get a sad glimpse of Boromir and his brother Faramir being split apart by their evil father in a flashback. The story goes much deeper in this version. The battle sequences are given some new attention here, with extra footage subtly inserted into them, and also, there are some new scenes of Gollum (which are likely to be a fan favorite). I reccomend watching the film in two parts, due to it's nearly four-hour length, but if you can manage to sit through the entire film all at once, go for it! You won't be dissapointed. A great work of cinema has just got even better.

Summary: What an adventure!
Review: A great action and adventure movie, January 13, 2004
This movie, a continuation of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, is a great adventure, action, love and companionship movie compacted into one tale. It tests the friendship and loyalty of the ring bearer Frodo Baggins and all who are out to help him on his quest to destroy evil. Each individual character has their own story and a task set out for them. I was a movie that kept me on the edge of my seat and my eyes wide open to know what was coming next. It is a perfect fantasy movie that will keep you entertained and wondering how one person could came up with all of these magical characters. I enjoyed both the first and second movie; I cannot wait for third one to come out on DVD.

Summary: A Good Movie Turns Great
Review: Ah, sweet anticipation. That is what I have felt for almost a year before its release. After they released the FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING-EXTENDED EDITION I was amazed at what they could do with a bunch of extra scenes. Almost everything they added was for fans of the books, which I am proud to number as one of.
So obviously I was excited about the TWO TOWERS EXTENDED, especially after seeing the theatrical version. A beautifully rendered movie, but there was a lot that didn't sit well with me. Much dissapointment. But the extended tied up a lot of loose ends (& loose cuts), pulling the story a lot closer to the book than before, most notably with the new Boromir And Faramir scenes explaning the family dynamics and showing Faramir's true character. And once again there were a lot of new scenes just for the fans. ( did I mention that I'm one of them?)
But still P.J. had a lot to answer for (at least to me) with the changes. And answer he did. The 2 appedix disks ( which I think were brilliant ideas to use, just calling them appendixes makes it feel Tolkien), are again chock full of interviews and info on how the movies were made. But still Pete had better have something to say for himself. This isn't a silly old question of "where's Bombadil?" or "why's the pointy eared lady on Glorifindel's horse?". No, I want to know why Faramir is a big meany taking them to Osgiliath of all places, and why Gollum looks and acts better than both hobbits he plays next to?!?!
These and many more questions are answered, but it was really awesome to see David Wenham (Faramir) talk about his role. It was cool to see him having never read the books before imerse himself in them, and then reading the script and seeing how different the character was from the one in the book. Realising the fans would not be happy with this, he went to P.J. to see what was up. Now thats what I call integrity. With some directors that might not go over to well but he did it any way. This is just one of the many examples of how committed cast and crew are to these films, Peter Jackson being among the most committed of them all. It has to be a hard job to fit the whole story into three films, and keep everyone happy.
Getting back to the movie itself, my personal favorite scene is seeing Gandalf fighting the Balrog. An amazing scene that perfecly captures the stunning fall into a pit that had no recorded bottom.
This is a movie that I would highly recomend to anyone who loves a great epic, nad even though this movie deviates from the book more so than the other two I think most fans of the books will enjoy as well.
