Fans protest over Hobbit decision

[Neemo]

Jackson did a fantastic job by remaining as true to Tolkiens work as possible.

wrong.

care to elaborate a bit on that I've read the series 3 times and i thought he did great, there are some pretty shitty book adaptions out there, i wouldn't count LOTR as one of them...yeah sure there are a few parts made a bit too hollywood (Gimli/Legolas interatcion mostily) and a few things left out (return to the shire for one) but i really got no complaints about them in fact i miss my yearly trek to the theatres to see them, they are by far the best Fantasy Movies in existence IMO

unless of course you are more partial to Krull and Conan....maybe the wonderful Dungeons and Dragons movie

[Izzy]

What great news

The guy is a hack

I'm really pumped about the Hobbit now. Without Jacksons awful cgi work, total inability to edit footage and baffling attempts to drag everything past three hours the Hobbit might just be the film the LOTR films werent....

You must be joking right?

Well according to the reviews on IMDB.com i wasnt the only one to wonder if the effects in King Kong had been done ten years ago....

Seriously that film would have looked dated in 1995, i was embarrassed for Mr Jackson - go check the sequence where Kong breaks through the gate on monkey island or whatever cliche name it had, watch the people getting flung about and the general level of effects throughout that scene. Ghastly, just ghastly

...or better yet watch the scene in return of the king where Legolas ''surfs'' on those elephant things. Ye gods.....

[Neemo]

i agree izzy there were some pretty cheesy parts....2 others are the skateboarding down the stairs bit in two towers or the counting off the kills between legolas and gimli.

but like i said previously ... look at the D&D movie....that is a perfect example of a really bad fantasy film, you can't hoently group LOTR with that trash

[Jim]

Well according to the reviews on IMDB.com ...

Oh, so we're citing IMDB now, oh, eh, are we? We're trusting the judgement of IMDB users are we, yeah, eh, hey?

Well, in that case, then ROTK is the fourth best film ever made. Case closed, discussion over.

Your right, look at Kong itself and it's photorealistic fur, those photorealistic things that ate Serkis, the old new york, Gollum, and all the other stuff Weta was able to accomplish just in the LOTR movies before any other effects company, including the effects power house ILM, much of the cgi work in Episode 2 is just simply bad, they did pull of Episode 3 a lot better, come on, I can understand if you didn't like those movies but atleast show some respect and give gredit where gredit is due (not sure if that sentence goes like that)

Seems like you have something personal against Jackson and everything that he has done, before FOTR came out I was like wtf, the guy who did Bad Taste is directing LOTR, and wtf, his own effects company Weta is doing the effects and John Williams ain't doing the score, wtf, this is going to be so bad, after hearing and reading the reviews I went to see if that movie could be that good and after seeing it, I have to say I changed my mind, Jackson, Weta and Shore did something amazing, and that didn't change in the two others.

Jackson is a movie maker of the best kind, he isn't set out to make money with movies, his set out to make entertainment with movies.

Actually the reference to the frightful IMDB was evidence that it wasnt just myself that had noticed the dated effects - i was initially concerend i was the only one who had

[Izzy]

Your right, look at Kong itself and it's photorealistic fur,

I did notice that....and i also noticed all the stuff around Kong

Mr Jackson was evidently so focused on the 2nd giant ape in his life (the first existing in his mirror) that he forgot about the rest of the effects. I assume the effects for Kong were so time consuming and expensive everything else was slightly lower on the list of priorities

I dont have anything against Peter Jackson, i just think he's a fairly unremarkable director

Watch Kong again, but watch whats around Kong, not just the ape - then tell me the effects are good

[Jim]

... on the 2nd giant ape in his life (the first existing in his mirror)

Have you seen Mr. Peter Jackson recently? Clearly not. He's lost a ton of weight.

Mate. You can find people, somewhere or other, that will agree with you on anything.

i liked those bits

[Hysteron]

can you imagine someone other than Ian McKellen playing Gandalf the Grey?"

Well it is getting pretty close to Christmas, I can think of one guy.

Signed number: 10041.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

[Gordi]

As the 'shat' says: "I can't get behind that!"

Peter Jackson should really be doing this one, it makes sense.

[NicoRourke]

Nobody else than Jackson should direct this. Those people at New Line are insane.

he created on film everything Tolkien wrote. The whole Tolkien's world. He knows every piece of it.
