In this
second installment of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic, Hobbit
Frodo (Elijah Wood) and his small band of allies continue their
quest to Mordor to destroy the Ring while the Dark Lord Sauron
still holds Middle-earth in his evil grip. Starring Viggo Mortensen,
Ian McKellan, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler and John
Rhys-Davies. This two-disc collector’s DVD set will no doubt
delight Rings fans, but look for the 4-disc extended
version available in November. |

The Two Towers will
neither disappoint the legions of Lord of the Rings fans nor
the new converts who adored The Fellowship of the Ring. But
be forewarned: The Two Towers isn’t about cute Hobbits going
on a quest–this one gets down to the nitty-gritty.
