<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It's 3 hours and 14 minutes, in comparisson, the Fellowship of the Ring was 2 hours and 58 minutes. Anyone who has read the book knows that the Two Towers is on a much larger scale as far as character involvement and drama goes, and with that in mind, this movie could prove to be the greatest thing ever shown on the big screen, I can't wait!

Fellowship absolutly destroying the first week UK DVD sales record would be a very large understatement:


"Surprising even the most optimistic analysts, LOTR:FOTR sold nearly 2.4 million copies on DVD and VHS in its first week of release in the U.K., wiping out the previous record set by Titanic when it sold 1.8 million copies in its first week of release. At the same time Warner Home Video's German office reported a first-day sale of one million units in Germany, Austria and Switzerland." -LordoftheRings.net</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I know I'm not the only one who'll say this, but if Two Towers and RotK are anything like FotR, he could make each one 4 hours and I'd love it. I'm dyin' to see the extra scenes from FotR</div>
