The Two Towers DVD: Return of the King Preview
Just got my hands on the 2 disc Two Towers today and I have to say that it impresses as well as the first release did. The Return of the King preview is awesome, u get a real behind the scenes look at "King" and it does end with the preview that was online last week, but now with audio that synchs up! Also of note is the previw for the Extended Edition, the new scenes look sooo good, and I think it will definately please fans of the books who felt slighted by the movie, especially in its treatment of Faramir. Highest recommendation for this 2 disc.

I'll wait for the extended edition. The theatrical version was marred by horrible sequence editing. Hopefully, as many other people have said, the extra 40 or so mins will fix this us. Plus I can get the box set half price from work. You wouldn't believe what the cost price on these things are.

No question--I want both versions. I do still enjoy watching the FOTR standard release sometimes, so I see no reason not to the standard TTT release either. However, I will say this--between the standard release and EE I would much rather have the EE.

Palmer, I agree. From what I saw of the Extended edition preview, everything that I hated that was left out from the books seems to have been reinserted into the Extended Edition and that made me happy.

I would much prefer if TTT EE would be re-edited to follow the book's structure. With the Aragorn-Gimili-Legolas/Merry-Pippin arcs edited into one long sequence, to be followed by the Sam-Frodo sequence.
Before I saw the movie, I thought they made the right decision to edit the movie together that way, but after seeing it, I changed my mind. I thought the individual story arcs lacked focus and the narrative spent too much time hopping back and forth.

anyone know if there will be any "making of helms deep" documentary or if there is any extended footage in that area.
In an interview Peter Jackson said almost all the added footage is character development and not more battle scenes. I think Helm's Deep will be covered, but I am not sure it gets it's own doc.
MASSIVE will be covered. It is the software which was used to make the large orc army which fights at Helm's Deep.
