The Fellowship has divided and now finds 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 Barad-dur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.
The Special Extended DVD edition of the worldwide phenomenon features 42 minutes of additional footage and scenes, thoroughly integrated into the original theatrically released version of the film that made its worldwide debut on 5 December 2002 and which has since gone on to become the fifth most successful film in history.

Extremely true to the books, the three Lord Of the Rings films are absolutely superb. Brilliant special effects, excellent casting, you just can't criticise any element of the films at all. The extended versions are well worth it. They don't just add in meaningless shots, they add in critical story elements that were omitted from the cinema versions to keep the films a reasonable length. The additions change the light the story is portrayed in, and while not absolutely essential, add real depth. They can not be recommended highly enough. The books tell a huge story and long films are needed to retell the story accurately. Immerse yourself into the extended versions and you will find it well worth it.
This is quite simply, the best bulid up to a battle in cinema. Some might say that Two Towers is a filler film and the weakest of the three films.
I entirely disagree. This holds the best battle scene of the three and a great score. There are some cheesy montage sequences, but dont let this put you off.
UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!!!!!************
This could be the bargain of the century! 4 DVDs, the actual film extended to over 200 minutes!....and all for £9.99
It really makes a difference with the deleted scenes included and makes the story clearer. treat yourself to all 3, you wont be disapointed!
If you enjoy The Lord Of The Rings then owning all the director's extended version's is a must.
This film takes up the story after sam and Frodo have left the fellowship to take the ring to Mordor. While This is happening it also follows the story-line of Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli hunting down the Orc's that have taken there hobbit friends.
This film offers more action scene's than the first film with the spectacular battle of Helm's Deep and is my personal favourite out of the 3 films.
This film includes an array of very talented actors including Orlando Bloom, Viggo Mortensen and Elijah Woods at there best.
Possible the greatest fantasy story ever told!
This is a must see film whether you've seen anything like it before or not. This action packed film has some amazing actors and the action/effects are so life like. This film will be over within a blink of an eye because you get so drawn into the story line.
