Caleb and I were like little school girls when we came out of the theatre. We thought about seeing it again but we went out.
Andy Serkis was amazing. After seeing the "Gollum" extra feature in the 2 Towers DVD, I really looked at Gollum in this one and I saw Andy's face. It was unreal. His origin was creepy but it helped to explain what Frodo was going through.
I'll be seeing it again. 3 and a half hours? Maybe, but it didn't seem like it.

The only disturbing thing about the movie was finding out that even little hobbit girls have hairy feet...

I laughed, I cried, I told my friends!

It has been years since I read the trilogy and frankly, I'm glad I didn't remember the details from the books. I was free to enjoy the trilogy on it's own merits and it was wonderful! I very rarely buy DVDs or CDs but I can't wait until this comes out in a box set. I can watch it over and over again!

Well, they did say that in The Two Towers. We didn't see it, though!

I just watched the extended version of The Two Towers, and I thought it improved the theatrical release immensely.

There were lots of little bits of exposition here and there that explained events and various characters' motivations from both the first movie and the third movie, thus rendering this version of Two Towers a much better bridge between Fellowship and Return.

In particular, I thought the added material really helped flesh out the characters of Eowyn, Boromir, and Faramir, and also clarified the relationships of Eowyn and Theoden, and Boromir/Faramir and their father.

The only thing I didn't care for much was the additional material involving the ents. I didn't think a lot of it was necessary, and thought it detracted somewhat from the other storylines in the movie. (Plus, every time I heard Treebeard speak, I couldn't help but think of Gimli.)

One thing I realized, though -- Andy Serkis's voicing of Gollum reminds me of Gurgi from Disney's animated version of Lloyd Alexander's The Black Cauldron! Only instead of his "Precious," Gurgi was forever craving "munchings and crunchings"...
