Peter Jackson is Bored of Movies

Dude... Peter Jackson bored with movies. Guess what Peter, so are we after your tedious four hour "epics".

Try not to make Gammes as tedious as you make movies, eh?

i fell asleep during braindead

sort it peter

Reasons why Peter Jackson is suddenly good.

1) His connection with that FX studio that does a wonderfull job in creating stuff special effects and costume and decor wise.
2) He makes movies that tell stories who are allready written down for more then half a decade and these stories have been brilliant for that half a decade... half the work is allready done and he stills chops all the good parts...where is my Tom Bombadil for christ sake! Where is the slow slumbering awaking of the rage of the Ents! Why wasn't Aragorns carrying the Sword of the king the whole time when they left from Rivendell and so aiding him in his growth as a person towards becoming King...Where!

90% chance this game with storytelling will consist of the following pattern <dialog> <gameplay> <new Area> <trigger event for more dialog> <same gameplay as before> and repeat, also known as the Final Fantasy pattern in my books.

Like King Kong, which he ruined.

Dude, not to get all UberTolkeingeeky on you, but you left out THE three most important parts, and one of the most inexplicable.

Tom Bombadil's exclusion is bothersome, but moreso the excusion of the Barrowdowns which Tom must rescue them from. No Barrowdowns, no barrow-blades, no barrow-blades, no easy explanation for why a mere hobbit was able to wound the Witchking so greviously.

MUCH MORE TROUBLING, one bit of it I found directly insulting, was the character assasination of one Faramir, who went from suffering at the hands of his own fathers resentment for both listening to Gandalf and being more of a true scion of Numenor (in character) than his brother Boromir AND doing the RIGHT THING by allowing Frodo to continue his quest, to being a better son, and making the easy choice of following his duty to obey and serve his father and Steward's will, by attempting to thwart Frodo and Sam's quest and bring the Ring to Gondor, EXACTLY as his brother Boromir would have done. The line where Sam says "We're not even supposed to be here!" I took as an insulting thumb of the nose at Tolkein purists for no reason other than he could. This after his oaths and protestations of faithfulness to the original.

The complete exclusion of "The Scouring of the Shire" is also troubling, mostly becasue Peter Jackson has publicly stated his dislike for that part of LotR and wasted much needed time in the epics on...crap.

One of the most puzzling, to me at least, omissions is one that occurs during Frodo and Sam's capture by Faramir, the exchange that takes place at the pool between Frodo and Gollum is pure Hollywood gold. The only explanation I can think of is that it was too good to be included in the movie since Peter Jackson couldn't take any credit for "Don't want stupid fish."

IMNSHO, Peter Jackson has ruined the entire franchise for years to come, not becasue he didn't make an enjoyable and profitable "flick" that I'm sure many people enjoyed immensely, but becasue he was granted the opportunity to do the work justice, and could have made an equally if not more enjoyable and profitable motion picture worthy of the name "cinema" and CHOSE not to. Protestations of innocence and studio guilt and interference fall on deaf ears, I just don't think he even TRIED, the changes the studio may have pushed for masked the changes HE wanted to make.

OMFG. The books got the director they deserved, and the fans got the movies they deserved.

BORING.

ummm, no...

remember dead alive, genius?

he didnt just make the rings and kong. so he might make some good gammes.

Also known as Braindead, the reason there is a lawnmower in Dead Rising.

MUCH MORE TROUBLING, one bit of it I found directly insulting, was the character assasination of one Faramir....

I find your charcter assasination of peter king equally insulting

I meant Peter Jackson......whatever happened to the edit button on your messages...

*looks at hollywooda

who the hell is Peter King????

hahahaha

you suck.

EDIT button only sticks aroudn for 15 min from the time of the original post. After that its carved in stone... unless of course tyrion deems otherwise. ;)

If any of you made a LotR movie, I'd be there'd be tons of fricken unicorns and neopluradons all up ins just because you could! So don't get all high and mighty.

I think Lord of the Rings Trilogy is good. I know pure fans want it to be the book on the screen exactly but that's not what always entertaining to hold an audience. Look what happened to Resident Evil when a bad director is in charge, despite the story potential.

Sure, somethings were left out, but without the trilogy I would never have even looked at Tolkiens work to read in book form. You can't have it both ways, either you want more people to discover Tolkiens work through the films or not discover them at all, so despite omissions which will it be? I'm sure the done wonders for books many would have overlooked.

Hey, I enjoyed Braindead, its a cult piece of horror comedy just like I did Bad Taste. Over the top, over gory etc.

Its not easy to please everyone, and considering this i think Peter Jackson has done alright. His starting in games is just a creative extension, but I'll give him a chance to work on his games, and the Halo movie too.
