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

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.
