The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers (DVD 2003)

Continuation of thr fisrt movie where Frodo baggins goes on his journey to destroy the one ring that can rule everything and everyone.

The quality and special effects is as good if not better then the fisrt. The storyline is as gripping as the first and the fight scenes are magical.

You can watch this second movie before the first movie but would highly recommend you watch the fisrt as the first movie has a good storyline to build characters.

Ive watched this 3 episodes over a dozen times and still catching scenes that i missed. things happen so fast and all around the screen, so the eyes cannot catch everything that is happening.

This Is the second of the lord of the rings trilogy, and in my view the second Best of the three. Fantastic fight scenes and i love Golum (voiced and played by Andy Serkis) in this film he plays the Part Fantastically,. a must buy for all Tolkien and Lord of the rings Fan

A perfect bridge between Lord of the Rings and Return of the King. After the explosive excitement of the first film a calmer explanation of the story so far which leaves you itching to see the last and final part. Not that it does not have it's own riveting excitement in parts, mostly it is an in depth examination of the characters and their interaction and regard (love?) for each other. As always Mckellen steals every scene he is in but that is as it should be as it is 'Gandalf' who organises and manages the whole plot to dispose of the 'ring'. A wonderful film in it's own right but must be set against the other two for complete fulfilment, my advice would be to watch all three one after the other one day for an almost surreal experience...Can you tell I'm a fan ??

like i said a good dvd and my best wishers 2 u and your family, and i hope 2 buy of u again and cheers m8

Even though I was lost through some of it, I liked 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' better than its predecessor, The Fellowship of the Ring. As the middle section of what is really one long story (or one long nine-hour movie), it doesn't bother setting anything up -- it assumes you've seen the first one-and just plunges in.
Whereas Fellowship gave us the sunlit complacency of the Shire darkening into grim duty, Two Towers begins on a note of near-disaster - a dream of the standoff between the wizard Gandalf and the fearsome Balrog - and mostly keeps its jaws clenched in readiness for hopeless battle. The theme of this Act Two is good warriors standing tall in the face of odds that could hardly suck worse.

If that sounds like a downer, it isn't; Peter Jackson, delivering the second of his three Christmas gifts to J.R.R. Tolkien fans worldwide, comes most alive during the scenes of peril and evil, of which there are enough here for a year's worth of movies. One could conceivably enjoy The Two Towers knowing very little of its conflicts or interspecies politics; it can be processed as pure cinema, and forget about the plotlines, which in any event are unavoidably way stations to The Return of the King. We do spend a great deal of the movie watching characters prepare for things that won't happen in the movie; even the big-bang sequence, the battle at Helm's Deep, is but a minor skirmish in the grand scheme of things.

A good deal of the dawdling is fun. The fearful comic-relief hobbits Merry and Pippin find themselves hanging on a massive walking and talking tree -- an Ent, really, a sort of plant elemental that watches over the green. These Ents talk slowly and arrive at decisions even more slowly; Jackson seems to be tweaking the ponderousness of most epics. Meanwhile, the human warrior Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) tries to get the woefully unprepared kingdom of Rohan ready for legions of merciless Uruk-hai sent by the evil wizard Saruman; and Frodo Baggins, bearer of Tolkien's mystical McGuffin the One Ring, and his loyal friend Samwise slouch towards Mordor to dispose of the thing, accompanied by the wretched Gollum.

Most of the hype surrounding Two Towers has centered on Helm's Deep and Gollum. Of the two -- and the battle is one of the best of its kind in film history, a symphony of bloodlust and hopes dashed and restored -- I prefer the little creature who used to be called Smeagol before the Ring stole his mind and soul. As you've heard, Gollum is played in voice and gesture by Andy Serkis, and fleshed out digitally by Jackson's computer wizards. You'll always be aware that Gollum isn't literally "real," but in his pathetically addled way he's more real than anyone else in the movie. Jackson seems to have studied Jar Jar Binks and learned from George Lucas's mistake.

Two Towers may play narratively as a downer, but Jackson is too spirited a director to get bogged down: Characters are always reminding each other to keep hope alive in the midst of dread and panic.Hope is there, too, in the raw beauty Jackson finds everywhere, whether in battle or in a poetically downbeat episode at Rivendell with a weeping Arwen.

Jackson hasn't disdained his horror-movie roots, either: no director could be happier among the Orcs and Uruk-hai, and he has the diabolical wit to end this second entry on a note of demented enthiusiasm that functions as a chilling cliffhanger.'Fellowship' interested and entertained me; this one hooked me

i liked the product because it was brand new and still in the wrapping. I bought it for my son because he misplaced his other one. I would definately buy from this seller again.

I bought The Two Towers as I had just finished watching the first of the trilogy and it was so good that I was quite desperate to get onto the second.
Fantastic continuation of the Story and A real Joy to watch. Thank You EBAY

This film has to be watched as a sequel to The Fellowship of the Ring. I am yet to read the books but definately will make the time to after watching the films and I imagine the film represents them very well.

There are lots of plots involving different members of the cast that all contribute to the story line. The viewer has an insight into all of the main characters and in my opinion they couldn't have been cast any better! It is very very well done and not at one point did I wonder "Who that was" or "What's he got to do with it!". This film is a part of a Trilogy so has to be viewed as the second of three episodes if you will but alone can be watched as a film in itself.

Orlando Bloom is even beautiful as an elf! I'm very much looking forward to the fate of each of the characters!

brilliant movie loved it from the first time i saw it but left mine with parents when moved out so had to buy new copy and ebay always has best prices around could never get bored of this film

Ok, so I wouldn't rate this as 'below average' - but after the truly amazing first film in the series, this one, I felt, was something of a disappointment.

The plot seemed to waver, the special effects weren't as hot, the action wasn't as gripping... in short, I think they made a mammoth first film to hook the viewer, and then let it slide a little for the second.

Fans of the genre will no doubt enjoy it, and maybe even just as much as the first one, but for anyone like myself - seeking a bit of escapism and a damn good few hours' entertainment - you will probably find yourself wishing for something more.

In fact, Two Towers led me into such a loss of interest in the saga that I've never even bothered watching the third film.

I decided to buy the dvd because I never saw part three of lord of the rings, and it didn't disappoint.This movie is excellent on a wide screen TV, it really does give the battle scene justice coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. Every character is on their own journey to help destroy the ring of power loads of great, interseting characters,scenes and beautiful locations in the movie,however Saruman was cut entirely from the theatrical release of the film. There was no big final face off between Gandalfd and Saruman at Isengard.
Over all a great movie, it did justice to the book and the special features dvd has loads of behind the scenes stuff.

Peter Jackson deserves a Nobel prize for his amazing realisation of the JRR Tolkien books. I read these books about 20 years ago at school and had a vision of what they would look like which has been captured and realised in these films. Attention to detail and the storyline is just fantastic. I've got all the extended editions on DVD that give you some extra insights into the story. One of the best films ever made, pure brilliance.

Second installment, and by far twice as good.

Acting and battles in this are absolutley amazing, with special effects playing a humongous role in this film.

And we get to see Gollum in this one. How a computer generated thing like Gollum can have you so glued to the screen is phenomenal, and Peter Jackson is the one to thank for that.

A must see, must buy, must watch over and over again film.

THERE BE DRAGONS.A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE.1-2-3=TRILOGY.NANANANANNANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANA

when i first saw this film , i thought it was well written ,well acted ,and it was nice to see something brought to life from a book.
i purchased the film because on a rare occassion i do like to watch it again.this film i could watch over & over again

Like the other two volumes, not a moment of superflous action or padding, will be watched many more times.

Peter Jackson did it – where others crashed before him – he has brought Tolkien’s world to life. Hence The Lord of the Ring is not a film trilogy, it is an epic, it is a legend.

There were, in ancient times, epics and legends that were sung and played by bards and poets traveling from town to town. Those stories were full of heroes and adventures, and their purpose was to give people a sense of good and evil, a sense of honor, dignity, loyalty, honesty and righteousness. The Lord of the Ring is a modern version of such epics. It serves the same purpose, and in a society where we have lost the sense of enchantment and magic (not to speak about righteousness), it deserves the same attention.

The naïve innocence of some heroes (the Hobbits) can be arguable in credibility: one has to be sly to defeat evil, naivety hardly pays in any society, and it does not protect against evil. As for the script, in spite of the narrative inherited from the book it seems the films constantly need to create new villains, challenges and battles to keep you out of breath. But the mastery with which all this is crafted and directed is a flawless enchantment all throughout. The universe of Tolkien recreated in CGI is like a long stream of dazzling sceneries and creatures that can beat the wildest imaginations – that in itself shouldn’t be missed. (And when Liv Tyler in immortal Elvish Princess tells Viggo ‘I would rather share a lifetime with you than face all the Ages of this world alone,’ Oh boys! have a wish she says that to you.)

So, you’re in for a deep journey across a world of fantasy and enchantment, with the most spectacular effects and battles you’ve ever seen. And if you like the genre, the three parts are to be seen as one to make sense – they gain in intensity and rival in quality.

I love it as it is a fascinating film, much detail and energy has gone into this film.. i love collecting dvds that is why i brought this film A+++++++

GREAT CONDITION AND AGAIN AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN CONSIDERING THE HIGH PROFILE OF THIS MOVIE, I COULD'NT BELEIVE HOW CHEAP IT WAS, I ACTUALLY REPLACED THIS DVD AS I HAD THE VHS OF THIS MOVIE AND WITH ALL THE RAGE OF KEEPING UP WITH THE LATEST DVD PLAYERS WEILL, I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO GET RID OF THE VIDEOS. I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND I NOW HAVE ALL 3 DVDS OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY.
