Title: The Two Towers - Extended Edition
Post by: Dr Sadako on December 02, 2003, 10:32:49 AM
Bought the 4 DVD extended edition of The Two Towers. The extra 50 minutes to the movie added depth to the story and it became even better.

The two extra DVDs with documentaries are just great and very well produced. A treat for all movie nutters out there.

Go buy it!

Well boxed set 1 was £24 and boxed set 2 was also £24 so I guess if boxed set 3 is £24 then that would mean the combined set of 3 boxed sets would be £72. However, they always try an turn these things into some sort of marketers paradise by adding some "value" ha ha. I would hope that it would be around the £80 mark and no more.

holding off is a good idea cos you just KNOW they will bring out some kind of special special limited edition once all three are out.... the special special edition will probably have even more *bonus* footage to help with your insomnia.
