Adaptation by Vague Recollection

[Faramir Jones]

Leaf, I'm only speaking for myself; but I never thought that Peter Jackson was a 'dummy'. I felt that he and others didn't have the abilities to properly adapt Tolkien's works, in particular The Hobbit, in terms of plot and characterisation.

I therefore agree with what William said here:

No, the problem I think is that neither Jackson nor Boyens has the vision or sensitivity to let Tolkien take them out of their very narrow comfort zone of cliches and hackneyed tropes;

I would have liked to have seen what Guillermo Del Toro would have made of The Hobbit, at least because I would have seen more adaptations of Tolkien's works.
