Customer Reviews

The story - simply told.
The Two Towers visual companion is more something for a fan or collector of Lord of the Rings stuff, both of which I am. Is is not essential to own to know the plot of the story, but it is useful in refreshing your memory, and also giving a basic outline to the plot. The photographs are wonderful. A must for any fan.

Striking stills make good visual companion
In the same way that the book does not substitute for the movie, the movie cannot substitute for this “Visual Companion.” The book helps enhance and explain what the movie has no time for and would take time to extract from the original lengthy book.
The most striking part of this companion is the photographs especially two of them. The first is of the Ent; it is so much fuller than you remember from the movie and could almost be a portrait over your fireplace. Looking at the Ent’s translucent eyes and plant like whiskers you would think this is what “The Green Man” should look like. The second striking picture is the two page conflict between Gandalf and the Balrog (read, orange and yellow with a black background.) To add to these pictures is a full 4 page fold out of the highlights of Middle-Earth.

a must have
if you're a fan of the movie, you simply must have the visual companions! full of helpful photos and interesting information, you can step deeper into the masterpiece which is Lord of the Rings!
