Stellar! ( )

While Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.
Rated PG-13 for epic battle sequences and scary images

Of the entire film series, Two Towers is in my opinion the one most considerably improved by the extended cut, taking it from a good film to a great film. Where the theatrical cut felt overly focused on the siege of Helm's Deep, the extended cut adds more to the other plotlines, giving the story room to breathe, adding much needed levity, and, oddly, by making the movie longer, making the siege feel shorter.
