This is now my go-to version of Two Towers. The amount of work and love that went into this is clear, both from what you see on the screen and the dozens (hundreds?) of messages from DK. It really does bring that last bit of perfection to an already incredible movie.
It corrects some parts of the narrative that I didn't even realize needed correcting, like Faramir's personality or the Ents' motivations for war. And it's not just the big changes but the small ones too. Reordering of some scene moments can also bring change to the narrative, like making Gimli more respectful.
The editing itself is flawless, in terms of audio and visual work, and the improved pacing really keeps the story moving, even at its 4 hour extended-edition length. I have to find the time to watch their Return of the King edit because if it's anywhere near as good as this one I'm sure I'll love that one too.
