Upon it's release, the Two Towers, while not at all poorly received by the audience, was deemed by few to be slightly inferior to the original film. Major criticisms were aimed at the films slower pace and being less faithful to the source material. However, this extended edition should serve as an amazing treat for audiences. There is more humor in this installment, and it even adds a lot more character development for some characters. It even gives characters like Faramir and Eowyn more layers. The pacing is also much more satisfying and the story flows much better. Gollum is also made an even more entertaining creature, which he already was pretty interesting. Definitely worth going back to watch this movie for seeing these incredible changes.

The extended edition might be longer for some, but has a lot more to offer audiences and even makes the movie more faithful to the source material. It fixes more confusing plot points and also helps the audience better understand the sequels. It does strengthen the relationship between Aragorn and Boromir, and even adds more context to Bilbo's character. Samwise is also made a more interesting character. There are a few plot hole from the theatrical cut that are left unresolved, which may bother some people. But overall the extended edition should serve as a treat to many audiences and fans alike.
