I am sorry if I found myself getting overheated during this discussion but I do find blanket statements of “he has no respect for the source material or Tolkien”, “he’s a bad director, end of story” and the like to be not only un-provable (or disprovable) but wildly exaggerated too.<BR>Paul Anderson is a bad director.<BR>Peter Jackson is not.<BR>Go back in time 5 years and swap one for the other and you’d see what I mean. The LOTR films would be a whole lot worse for it.<BR>Or you could just wait and see the Aliens v’s Predator film.
