The Two Towers had quite a task. After hitting it out of the ballpark with the Fellowship of the Ring, how could they possibly follow suit? Especially given that as the middle arc, there is no true beginning, no true end, and the way the book is depicted would be two mini-movies as we follow first the remaining fellowship and their adventures and then the story of the still questing Frodo and Sam in the second portion.
