Neither the Two Towers nor the Return of the King was as dramatic and awe inspiring to me as The Fellowship of the Ring. They are still wonderful movies, but I think a lot of the wonder from the first movie about just how Peter Jackson would visualise Middle Earth was over by the second and third parts. In Fellowship, there was just such a lot of “wow” factor. ROTK I liked more than TTT. TTT was more a bridge between the others and less a story in itself. (I felt the same about the books, too.)
