 A Masterpiece of Epic Proportions June 16, 2008
Pat Shand (Freeport, NY USA)
"The Two Towers" is as close to a perfect movie as I've seen. It's epic in scope, both in the actual story as well as the task of adapting the book into a movie. While showing respect for the source material, Jackson wasn't afraid to tweak here and there in order to make the story work as a movie. Instead of having half the movie tackle the Aragorn/Rohan story and the latter half detail Frodo and Sam's quest towards Mordor like the book did, the movie blends these two story lines together and makes them flow together as one cohesive story.
If you liked and enjoyed The Fellowship of the Ring, things just get better from this point. The direction is ambitious in a way that elevates the beauty of the story and Midde-earth in general to a whole new level. The beautiful score is enough to bring tears to your eyes during the emotional moments and will make you hug your legs closer to your body during the battle scenes. And oh there are plenty of those. The battle at Helm's Deep is a cinematographic triumph , showing fighting that it better choreographed than any dance could hope to be.
"The Two Towers" is simply a masterpiece of epic proportions that should be as renowned as the source material. Whether you like the widescreen version, full screen, or the extended edition, this is something that everyone should see.
10/10 Classic.
Not perfect but pretty darn close June 7, 2008

First of all, if you're going to watch these films you may as well get the full story. These Extended Editions are the best for fans of the book as well as newbies who don't mind a more complicated storyline than the theatrical editions. They are chock-full of more action, more humor and (dare I say it) more plot. Even The Two Towers, in which Peter Jackson took one of the most significant deviations from the novel (deciding that it would be more dramatic as well as realistic for Faramir to be tempted by the Ring), includes scenes that give additional backstory to the multiple subplots. It's such a beautiful film that it made even me, who is normally a stickler for movies sticking to such important plot points, fall in love with it. Gollum is absolutely stunning - the amount of physical discomfort that Andy Serkis forced himself into is mind-boggling but obviously worth it, given the results.
What a great dvd! June 4, 2008
C. S. (St Louis, MO)
I love the whole trilogy. This dvd is the 2nd one and has lots of action for the typical action lover. The acting is surperb. I've watched my over and over again.

Having bought this item from one of those sellers who packs bent and crushed boxes, then blames the USPS for the damage, it was refreshing to buy a second from Amazon (the shipper) and have it arrive in acceptable condition. When my 4 year old Daughter is 18, I'm hoping these sets will have proven to be a good investmment for her. Being a fan, mine are open, and watched often. She will inherit those too, but, hopefully these unopened Special Editions, will be "Collectors Items" in 2022.
