The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: the production values in the second film as they were before (the consistency, result of the effort to treat the production as one throughout the whole series, pays out), but something else needs to be mentioned: the locations chosen are stunning. The pace on this film suffers a bit, partially because its condition of being a bridge between the beginning and the end of the overarching story; also, the extended cut has many lulls that enrich the world but slow the experience. Deserving a special note is how well executed was the character of Gollum: both the special effects and the voice acting by Andy Serkis are fantastic, and the character the strongest presence in the film.
