The extended edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers adds 43 minutes to the theatrical version's 179-minute running time, and there are significant, valuable additions to the film. Two new scenes might appease those who feel that the characterization of Faramir was the film's most egregious departure from the book, and fans will appreciate an appearance of the Huorns at Helm's Deep plus a nod to the absence of Tom Bombadil. Seeing a little more interplay between the gorgeous Eowyn and Aragorn is welcome, as is a grim introduction to Eomer and Theoden's son. And among the many other additions, there's an extended epilogue that might not have worked in the theater, but is more effective here in setting up The Return of the King. While the 30 minutes added to The Fellowship of the Ring felt just right in enriching the film, the extra footage in The Two Towers at times seems a bit extraneous--we see moments that in the theatrical version we had been told about, and some fleshed-out conversations and incidents are rather minor. But director Peter Jackson's vision of J.R.R. Tolkien's world is so marvelous that it's hard to complain about any extra time we can spend there. The first two installments of Peter Jackson's trilogy have established themselves as the best fantasy films of all time, and among the best film trilogies of all time, and their extended editions have set a new standard for expanding on the already-epic films. --David Horiuchi
Description
Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship continue their quest to destroy the One Ring and stand against the evil of the dark lord Sauron. The Fellowship has divided and now find themselves taking different paths to defeating Sauron and his allies. Their destinies now lie at two towers - Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted wizard Saruman waits and Sauron's fortress at Baraddur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.

 Best Sequel June 5, 2009
Bobbie C (Florida)
As in Fellowship, this is a great movie. Will be a classic. Although it varries from the book, it is a good movie in its own right.
 ANOTHER PRECIOUS EDITION May 24, 2009
R. Arrington (Somewhere)
In this second film of the Lord of The Rings trilogy,the Fellowship continue their journey to defeat the Dark Lord Sauron and bring peace to Middle Earth.Much like the first film,The Two Towers finds our heroes fighting even more epic battles and meeting new and amazing characters.The acting is still spot-on and the special effects/enormous sets and overwhelming battle sequences are just as maginificently well done as always.This extended edition adds over 40 minutes of footage not seen in the theatrical version and not a second of it works against the overall film.Each new moment only proves this edition's superiority in both character development and action.Like the extended editions of the other two films,The Two Towers comes loaded with special features.There are two disks packed with hours of video documentaries on the design and construction of clothes/sets/weapons and behind the scenes of most of the film's battles and all processes involved such as choreography, editing and scoring.There are also hundreds of design sketches and stills that can be viewed individually.All in all,it's a superior edition in every way,providing much more thrills and adventure than the theatrical version.
Great Movie. May 3, 2009
C. Weaver (Rusk, Texas United States)
Again the extended version adds to the story. This version helps the Lord Of The Rings along by adding back scenes that add to the storyline and help get it closer to the book. I have both the movie release and this one and I, by far, like this one best!
Loved every minute May 2, 2009
James Carpenter (Pennsville, NJ USA)
The Two Towers is a worthy follow-up to the Fellowship of the Rings. Acting, scenery, make-up, everything is top-notch, and Peter Jackson has truly brought Tolkien's masterpiece to life on the big screen. Whether you are a Tolkien fan, or simply enjoy an engrossing film experience, The Two Towers is definitely worthy of your attention. Thank you Mr. Jackson!

The DVD arrived from the dealer ahead of schedule and the quality of the DVD was excellent. It was a used DVD, but there were no scratches on the disk and everything including the case looked like new.
