I as well like the scenery.
As for the trees that are still standing. If they had already been gone there would have been no tension and it would have been so easy to guess that Saruman was a bad guy. Plus when the orcs tear the trees down later in the movie it makes you mad because you knew of what the Orthanc looked like before.
I didn't expect the wizard fight when I first saw the movie. Somehow I know I wouldn't have lked it if lightbolts would be shot across the room. I guess its because it would remind me of the lazer beams in Star Wars.
Anyway, I'll add more to the discussion later.
