Elijah Wood Movie:

Editorial Review:
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.

Description of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
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

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Reviews:
Great Service
2008-10-05 - 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!!!
2008-09-30 - 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!
2008-09-05 - 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!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!


Part Two of a Masterful Trilogy.
2008-06-30 - After repeated viewing of "The Fellowship" I fell in love with that movie.
But, kind of like that movie I really didn't care for The Two Towers at first, but after repeat watches, I love this one too.
The battles are epic, the story is wonderful, the acting is top notch as always, the cinematography is just amazing.
All in all, another long and epic journey through the "Rings" world.
Part two is just as good as one and I can't say enough good things about this movie.
Highly recommended.
