synopsis
Set in a time of uncertainty in the land of Middle-earth, a tale which charts a heroic quest, which centers around an intrepid hobbit. The future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring, which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search for it. But fate has placed it in the hands of a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins, who inherits the Ring and steps into legend. A daunting task lies ahead for Frodo when he becomes the Ringbearer as his assigned duty is to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged. But he can't accomplish this task alone. A Fellowship bands together to lend Frodo all that he needs to carry out his mission: the wisdom of Gandalf; the loyalty of his friends Sam, Merry, and Pippin; the courage of Aragorn and Boromir; the precision of Legolas; and the strength of Gimli. They are aided in their quest by Arwen, Galadriel and Elrond, whose knowledge of the Ring brings to light the true danger and importance of their journey.

reviews
Hobbit Frodo and his small band of allies continue their quest to destroy the Ring while the Dark Lord Sauron still holds Middle-earth in his evil grip. Welcome to part two of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, in which things have gotten decidedly darker. Story Ever faithful to J.R.R. Tolkien's epic story, The Two Towers begins right where The Fellowship of the Ring left off--the Fellowship has now been splintered. Gandalf (Ian McKellen) has supposedly been killed. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen),

If you didn't see 2001's The Fellowship of the Ring -- the first chapter in Peter Jackson's three-part film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings -- get the DVD. Jackson leaps into Part II with no patience for laggers. The Two Towers, shot at the same time as Part I and Part III, is spectacular in every sense of the word, even if you don' t know an Orc from a Uruk-Hai. Here's the tease: The fellowship has scattered. Frodo the Hobbit (Elijah Wood) still holds the all-powerful ring

Part Two in the Rings trilogy drew some criticism because, like most middle chapters, it leaves you hanging. So what? Is the battle of Helm's Deep, superbly captured in image and sound on this two-disc DVD, not one of the greatest battle scenes ever? Is Gollum, unforgettably voiced by Andy Serkis, not the greatest computer-generated creature to reach the screen to date? So what's to stop you from ponying up the cash for this baby, even if the extras on Disc Two are mostly promotional filler?
