What surprised me the most was that the two films felt completely different. I did not expect that, since they shot them all at the same time, although I guess the books do vary greatly in mood. While I thought Fellowship of the Ring was about hope and the finding of courage, the Two Towers movie felt like it had an overwhelming sense of godlessness and hopelessness. It seemed like a tale out of the Dark Ages, and all of the characters were much more solemn and subdued than in the book. I would cast my vote for Fellowship of the Ring for which on I enjoyed watching more.
