Buy this gift set!
Like the "Fellowship of The Ring", this gift set edition of "The Two Towers" completely trashes the theatrical edition of this movie right into the ocean because of it's greater scope.
In this movie, the remainder of the fellowship have gone their separate ways due to unfortunate circumstances. Two of them were lost. Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee have now gone on their way towards Mordor and the Ring has gotten more powerful and Frodo has found it harder to resist it's dangerous power. However they have encountered the dangly creature named Gollum who once carried the Ring for over 500 years and has now aims to take back the Ring but Frodo and Sam who doesn't trust Gollum, have to trust him and Gollum guides them towards Mt. Doom.
Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli have now gones towards Isengard to rescue Merry and Pippin but are now find themselves towards the kingdom of Rohan where it's king has been withered by Saruman's power using the palantir. Saruman's army of Uruk Hai has grown massive and now numbers thousands of Uruk Hai and have been unleashed on Rohan.
This gift set edition of "The Two Towers" completely trashes the theatrical edition right out of the water and into the recycling bin because this edition has over 43 minutes of new footage that was not in the regular edition.
The third and fourth discs are absolutely amazing and contain unbelievable amounts of making of, story behind and all the stunning sets and all the work that was done to create them!
This also comes with a statue of Gollum which is really cool and I love the packaging too and don't want to throw it away because it is so beautiful!
3 Movies in one
"The Two Towers" is the second of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. And I would recommend that you watch them in order. In this movie we follow the three seperate story lines of the now disbanded fellowship.
Frodo and Sam continue to follow their guide Gollum through the bleak landscape to Mordor. Merry and Pippin brave the forest of Fangorn Forest where they meet the memorable Ent, Treebeard. And of course you have Aragorn, Legolas and Gimly making a heroic stand at Helms Deep against thousands upon thousands of Uruk-hai.
Helms Deep is truly a battle of epic porportions. And you will want to chear as the Ents move to attack Isengard. The special effects throughout the whole movie are spectacular. The additional material included in this addition gives the character's greater depth. And goes far in showing the dynamics of the Steward of Gondors family relationships.
This movie has more action that the first one. And though very enjoyable and well directed, it does not flow as clean as the fiorst movie. Here we have to follow three seperate stroy lines. As you do in the book. This version is much better than the theatrical release and I highly recomend it's viewing.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. . .
This movie is at most mediocre as is The Fellowship. The acting is amazing and the music is beautiful, but everything else sucks.
The special effects are overwhelming and beat the simplistic storyline down into a bloody pulp. The biggest problem with these movies is the directing. It's tedious, and boring, scanning vast scenery slowly and mind numbingly; the beginning credits whoich lasted no more then three minutes felt like 20. And as for the movie's length at three hours, it felt like more like five, because of poor character developement.
The stupid dialogue is set as a volume so low a dog couldn't hear it, and the soundtrack is set so loud that someone could here it from one-hundred miles away. Whatever charm the books seemed to have have been erased with these movies. Personally, I find the whole concept stupid: a bunch of humans and mythical creatures trying to toss a supernatural ring into a volcano uncreatively called mount doom so that they can get rid of an all powerful autocrat and install their own all powerful autocrat. And what's more, the kid who risks his life and goes scytzophrenic to throw the stupid ring in mount doom doesn't even get to be king? I'd like to give each member of the Fellowship of the Ring an uzi, grenade launcher and MP5 and see what the dark forces of Sauron could do.
And back to the specifics to this movie. It and the Return of the King starts off with no backtracking and begins exatcly where the Fellowship left off, leaving people who aren't directly familiar with the storyline lost.
This movie is a Royal Bore. Don't waste your money.
