Summary: The Continuation Of A Masterpiece
Review: When The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" premired a little over 2 years ago, I marvelled at the magnificence and sheer beauty of a film which so wonderfully captured the essence of the J.R.R. Tolkein novel of the same name. I sat spellbound for most of three hours, completely captivated by the imagery set before me. Then, when I received the "Fellowship" on DVD later that year, I was re-introduced to Peter Jackson's vision of Middle Earth in a way that allowed me to once more delve into this immensely beautiful film, and I found that with additional viewing, I learned more about the characters, the places and the events that unfold in the film. It made owning the film a pricelss addition to my film library.I am thrilled and delighted to say that I have had the same experience with "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers". This second installment of the film continues where "Fellowship" leaves off, with Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Austin) continuing their quest onward to Mount Doom. Along the way, they capture and befriend Gollum, who had initially sought them out in hopes of reclaiming the ring, his "Precious". Things are amiss in Middle Earth as Suraman (Christopher Lee), under the eye of Sauren, continues building an orc army that will be used to rise up against the powers that oppose Mordor. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhyse-Davies) are in pursuit of thier captured counterparts, Merry(Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin(Billy Boyd), two hobbits who ventured out by chance with Frodo and Sam in "The Fellowship of the Ring". As with the novel by the same title "The Two Towers" expands the realm of Middle Earth, and introduces us to many new characters, including the beautiful Eowen (Miranda Otto), daughter to King Theoden, who finds herself falling for the mysterious Aragorn when he helps free her father from the manipulations of Sauren. This is a MUST-HAVE for anyone who has been fortunate enough to experience any part of this major epic movie series. These films go far and beyond any undertaking of this magnitude thus far and the results are films of such quality that they will forever raise the bar for filmmakers in the future. Make this collection a part of your DVD library. If these films continue to achieve the acclaim that Tolkien's original "Ring" series has maintained in the literary world, than these films promise to entertain for generations to come, providing a canvas which contains some of the most beautiful, elaborate and indeed, complex cinematography ever seen. -Scott Kolecki

Review: This is an absolutely brilliant portion of the greatest movie trilogy ever. Aside from the dull performance of Elijah Wood, this movie has everything you could ask for. Gollum is simply the greatest CGI character ever. The interaction of Legolas and Gimli will leave you grinning from ear to ear. And the battle for helms deep is breathtaking. Just watch it already!

Summary: A Triumph - Well Worth The Money
Review: The extended version of the Two Towers is amazing, and well worth the price. You will be happy to watch the added 40+ minutes of the film. The many hours of added extras are fascinating and fun to watch again and again.

Summary: You haven't really seen the movie until you've watched this!
Review: First, let me say that I adore the books. This extended version of the film adds many scenes that fans of the books (and also those who haven't read them) will enjoy. We get more Merry & Pippin. More Ents and "awakening" trees. More Gollum/Smeagol. A flashback which tells us more about Faramir, Boromir and their father. And some priceless interaction between Legolas and Gimli. The extended version of this and the first film really fill in so much detail that they shouldn't be missed by anyone who liked the theatrical releases. The appendices are also excellent. Having seen the additional material on The Fellowship of the Ring extended addition, I thought, "Do they really have enough behind-the-scenes info to fill up two more discs?" And the answer is definitely - Yes! As someone who has never been a big fan of how'd-they-do-that documentaries of films, I was surprised to find myself rivited by these. Knowing all the detail and hard work that has gone into these films makes me love them all the more. Additionally, anyone familiar with the books who wondered why they changed Faramir's character so drastically, you will get an explaination here. (I still don't really agree with it, but at least I know what they were thinking now.) And they go over the reasoning behind the changes to the ending as well. Another feature of this addition is the packaging itself. The outside slipcover is made to resemble a leather-bond book. Inside you will find the case, booklet, and the discs themselves decorated with artwork and concept sketches from the artists who helped design the film. The onscreen menus continue the book theme and also show many wonderful sketches. In short, I recommend that you buy this, watch it, and then join me in eagerly awaiting the extended version of The Return of the King!

Summary: Isengard...and Mordor
Review: Wow, I got mine and I still can't get enough of it. I am inclined to agree with some reviwers: I prefer the films to the books, just because the books are written in such an obscure manner. Take the "cheesy" lines with humor and no one better disrespect Christopher Lee.

Summary: Greatest Fantasy Movies Ever!
