how could new line have cut what is now in the extended dvd

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2003)

the two towers was beyond brilliant as released in cinemas, the extra 40 odd minutes on the dvd, is even better. there are scenes here that are so vital, so moving, and that add to the story in such a big way, i cannot believe that they were cut. watching the film at over 3 and a half hours was an experience so involving so immersing i felt i was in middle earth. and the time just flew, it seemed like only an hour and a half went by. i cannot wait to see this in a cinema on a big screen. there is so much that makes more sense now, and the ending at helms deep is so integral to the book.
