Peter Jackson is God
I have now seen TTT seven times (and counting) and with each viewing I find myself more and more in awe of the work of Peter Jackson and his incredible crew. They have taken a great story and transformed it into a set of film classics for the ages.
While everyone is entitled to their opinions, the criticisms that I've read here of the movies are without merit. The only real problem is time--it's a three hour movie that still feels rushed, particularly at the conclusion. But this will no doubt be addressed when another 50 minutes is added to the Extended DVD. I can understand how Tolkien Purists might be taken aback by some of the changes in the movie. They caught me by surprise too. But the bottom line is: THEY WORK. Watching the movie again, you can't help but appreciate the fact that they were brilliantly conceived and really enhance the overall emotional themes of Tolkien's work. And THAT is what is really important in any movie adaption of a beloved book. Bravo to Peter Jackson. Thanks to PJ, Frodo and Company will be alive and well for countless generations of video-viewers to come. |

Blackboar! you have the Lembas commercial in your sig!
oh yeah! on subject...saying PJ is God...talk about over-obsessive! sure, i like the movies, but they'll be way better if PJ stuck to the book! i used to think that PJ did a good job with LOTR, but when i found out that he's
so i wouldn't say PJ is so great now

Frankly, trying to judge Movie Faramir's character after TTT is like judging Movie Boromir's character after the Mines of Moria. We're only halfway through PJ's depiction of Faramir.
My guess is that after ROTK, most people (except for maybe the Purists who hang out here) will love the Movie Faramir even more than they did Book Faramir. |
