    Lord of the Movies

    Sequel to the Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers continues the excellent Lord of The Rings Saga. Looking much cleaner and more detailed than the DVD version with better sound and special effects, this is a MUST have for any movie buff. I liked the special features they added. I recently started collecting steelbook Blu-ray and was hoping for better steelbook artwork. I would have loved to have raised lettering to make the steelbook "POP!" But still a great movie!!

    Awesome epic movie and even better in this crisp and clean steelbook with the original two towers cover art! A must for any true fan of Tolkien!

    Compared With Theatrical Release

    The extended version of The Two Towers is richer, flows more smoothly, makes more sense, fills in the blanks on missing motives of a number of characters, most notably Faramir and Eowyn, adds some important details about Aragorn. It provides more depth, background information, humor, and overall character development. Though many of the changes are small, they affected the way I interpreted scenes from the theatrical release, put a slightly different spin on things, making for a fuller experience. Which is not to say the theatrical release didn't hold together well - but the extended version is just a better film. I'd like to add that I notice a number of people have commented on the disappointing editing done in the theatrical release - to be fair to Jackson, et al, I would say: Just remember the theatres make their money by having multiple shows. They probably limited the length of the film to get more showings in per day. It would take planning for an intermission and a greater commitment by theatres to fit in what is essentially a four-hour movie. I don't think that's intentional "dumbing down" for the audience, it is just a business decision a lot of us would rather they didn't have to make.

    Nothing in movie form can quite equal the grandeur of J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy, given the depth and scope of his writing.....but the movie trilogy comes close! I admit to having hesitated -- nay, deliberately avoided -- seeing any of these movies, fearing dismal disappointment. After all, who would want this beloved fantasia reviled by hack acting and poor creation? But I learned this, THIS, was no listless, mediocre attempt to recreate brilliance. And The Two Towers is not just some trailer for the climactic third installment, or some slacker filler film short. It's not easy for a second installment to match the excitement of its predecessor or the dramatic "no holds barred" action of the finale, but this is truly well-balanced and a superb continuation of Fellowship, and the right prepatory to The Return.

    After seeing the first movie at home on DVD I knew I had to go see this one in theaters. Me and my sister went to go see this and both really love this movie. It picks up right where the first ended continuing the adventure of Frodo and Sam. This time around we are introduced to Gollum who is brilliantly voiced and motion captured by the talented Andy Serkis. A role that people will remember and mimic for a long time to come. Again Jackson does a great job of balancing the book with film and succeeds again. Great acting, awesome action and well written story. One of the best sequels ever made!

    This steelbook looks so much better in person than you can even imagine. Once you open the package and feel the metal and see the finish you’ll fall in love.

    One of the Best Sequels

    When I was a teenager, I went with my grandmother to see The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Unfortunately, I didn't see The Fellowship of the Ring the year before, so I was going into this movie blinded. But I ended up enjoying it so much that I had to go back and see The Fellowship as soon as I could. As a steelbook collector, I'm very happy to have this film in my collection!

    I loved this movie and purchased all of the Lord of Rings movies in just about each format: DVD, Blue Ray, and now Blu Ray Steelbook. I liked the Blue Ray box set, but preferred the illustrations of the DVD Box Set. The images on this steelbook case are reminiscent of those earlier editions and look great displayed on the shelf. I highly recommend this item!

    Although this movie is great, I would consider it my least favorite from the entire trilogy if I were to choose. But I think it is just as amazing as the first one. Again, just as the previous film, this Steelbook has the same matte/flat finish material and it includes a bonus DVD with hours of behind the scenes.

    Really Gets Amped Up

    So many have already seen the second film in this trilogy but it really gets amped up in the Two Towers. A deeper development into the characters and definitely a pick up if you're a LOTR fan. Though I've watched it many times I can always go back and pick up something new. A Great Steelbook from Best Buy!

    The second installment of the series. I had watched the standard film, & wanted the extras & uncut versions The content in the extras really tied the storyline together & kept true to the books Without the extras, I found the story strayed away from the books- which are amazing

    Now that some time has passed and the hobbit trilogy is complete, it's a great time to travel back to the adventures of Frodo on the second llag of hid journey to mirror. Lots of extras and behind the scenes info that remind you just how groundbreaking this film was at the time.

    From the stunning scenery & cinematography to the storyline, Lord of the Rings is a classic for the ages! Peter Jackson would make J.R.R. Tolkien proud in putting this classic book to film. The portrayal of good & evil is powerful and clear. I find myself wanting to watch this movie every other year and it never gets old

    What else is there to say about one of the greatest fantasy series of all time? If you haven't checked out any of the Lord of the Rings films, they are masterpieces of film-making and great adaptations of legendary books.

    Since just about everybody has seen the LOtR movies, I'll just skip to saying that this is a worthwhile steelbook to pick up for the price. Just a note: this is the theatrical version only, not the extended cut.

    The movie can be reviewed in other places, but ill just review the steelbook. My first one actually came damaged but was quickly replaced by best buy. Now it looks perfect and is great on my shelf.
