I love the LOTR film trilogy when it came out (and still kinda do), but in hindsight Peter Jackson should of died of a massive coronary before he even shot a single frame of film. It's clear he never understood anything of Tolkien's work or themes; he's just some kiwi fuck who likes transformers-sequel action movies, and imposed the Final Solution on Middle Earth fans, and people have suffered endlessly since then. Hopefully Tolkien's estate will make sure this never happens again; these films are very like the ring of power itself. When the third Hobbitt film comes out, I'll have to throw my LOTR DVDs into the fire, and I'm a big fan of those movies!
Why is it that with every movie I like, everybody else will eventually hate it?
