I guess I'm odd, in that I absolutely detested The Two Towers - compared to The Fellowship of the Ring it was nowhere near as visually stunning. Some of the 2nd unit photography was decidedly second-rate, and some of the dialogue was appalling. It wasn't too bad on a second viewing, but when I first saw it after seeing FOTR I was quite disappointed. I also felt the third movie missed a lot of the point of Tolkien's work by ignoring the whole 'blighted Shire' bit. But all-in-all, I felt Jackson got closer to the feel of the books than anyone else could possibly have done.
