The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a seamless continuation of Peter Jackson's epic fantasy based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. After the breaking of the Fellowship, Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power with the creature Gollum as their guide. Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) join in the defense of the people of Rohan, who are the first target in the eradication of the race of Men by the renegade wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee) and the dark lord Sauron. Fantastic creatures, astounding visual effects, and a climactic battle at the fortress of Helm's Deep make The Two Towers a worthy successor to The Fellowship of the Ring, grander in scale but retaining the story's emotional intimacy. These two films are perhaps the greatest fantasy films ever made, but they're merely a prelude to the cataclysmic events of The Return of the King. --David Horiuchi

 No Product Sent November 23, 2008

This seller did not ever send the product. Took my payment, but did not send the DVD. I have applied for a refund from Amazon. Thus, my opinion of this seller is very poor. I cannot rate the product, since I did not get it!
 Onwards to Helm's Deep . . . November 3, 2008
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
I must thank Peter Jackson, the cast, the crew, and Tolkien himself for the LOTR trilogy. Because if it weren't for them, then I wouldn't be the avid reader that I am to this day. As for "The Two Towers" it's an astonishing sequel to "The Fellowship of the Ring". And the Extended Edition makes it all the more compelling. What you miss are great scenes that are mentioned in the book (Numenor), more character development between the main characters (Legolas and Gimli's final count at Helm's Deep), and a bit of comedy (Eowyn's cooking) that fairly lightens up the darker atmosphere that's present here.
As for the cast, they're just above excellent. However, I personally didn't like Gollum as much. Oh, Andy Serkis did a terrific job as the character, and the CGI is so realistic that Jar-Jar Binks must be crying his eyes out, but the overacting somewhat irritated me. The prime example would have to be the scene in which he battles his tries to depart from his evil "conscience". But other than that, it doesn't really ruin the entire movie. The new cast members (Bernard Hill, Miranda Otto, Brad Dourif, David Wenham, etc.) give out fine performances, and the scenery of the land of Rohan gives more beauty and majesty in Middle-Earth.
The battle scene in Helm's Deep is the highlight of this film. For about half an hour, men and elves fight against the ten thousand Uruk-Hai. So there are hundreds of arrows, spears, swords, and probably only one axe (from Gimli). It's grand alright.
The music is more epic than ever before. The "Rohan Theme" with the Norwegian fiddle is the finest out of all of them. The choral motif with "Arwen and Aragorn" sounds beautiful and mystical. Gollum's Song is also a treat.
40 minutes worth of new scenes really IS worth getting this Extended DVD. And soon, I'll be buying "The Return of the King" Extended DVD, and I hope I get more thatn I expect (I couldn't believe that they cut out the "Steward and the King" chapter).
 Great Service October 5, 2008

I received The Lord of the Rings in new condition, still in the wrapper. It was delivered very quickly. I would recomend this vendor.
Part 2 in the Epic Trilogy!!! September 30, 2008

I love the extended version of The Two Towers because you get more storyline, more action, and more character development. It also has more beautiful scenery. It's been a couple of days since the Fellowship broke up into 3 groups. Merry and Pippin have been taken by Ors and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli try to help find them. Frodo and Sam continue their journey closer to Mordor. You are introduced to new characters, like Grima Wormtongue, Eomer, Eowyn, King Theoden, Gollum, Treebeard, and a lot more. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find that Gandalf is still alive. Frodo and Sam seek help from Gollum on getting to Mordor. Saruman sends his Orcs to Rohan, so the people flee to Helm's Deep where a huge battle takes place. Frodo, Sam, and Gollum are taken by Boromir's brother; Faramir who wants to take the ring to Gondor. If you love battles, fantasies, and epics, you'll love THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS!!!
GREAT MOVIE! September 5, 2008

This movie is awesome.
From the very begining it is fast-paced(but not to fast)and breathtaking.
With great actors, a wonderful plot, and amazing battle scenes, it will quench your thirst for a...um...thirst-quenching fantasy!
