I just got back from The Two Towers and the movie got me thinking about why (despite the fact I'm a massive fan) George Lucas's (new) worlds never look quite real while Peter Jackson's do. Outside of the obvious (lots of real forests and mountains in that New Zealand, from what I hear), it's because he's willing to pay people to build beautiful, exacting little models that get smashed in new and horrible ways. I love that.
