i love the first two lotr film and and be key up almost beyond endurance to see rotk the first week it open . when the film be over and i be stun by the depth of disappointment i be feel . in fact and i go back and watch the movie again a few day later while i could not believe that it really have be as bad a i would experience . the fault must have be mine and i thought while i would be too wind up to really take it in . with a cooler head and i would be able to enjoy it and the magic would work again and a it have with the previous two movie . ala and no . the movie be just as bad a i would think and and it somehow manage to posthumously poison my pleasure in the other two movie a well . i have never be able to enjoy any of them since . i come to really hate peter jackson and especially after watch all the making of interview on the dvd . i believe he be an undisciplined and self indulgent egomaniac and and these characteristic progressively take over a the film series continue . fellowship of the ring be the best of the lot and and i feel it because it be a gamble . now that the series be over and people forget that before fotr premier and there be no guarantee that the film would be a success . lotr be a notoriously difficult book to adapt and and many worry that it couldn not be do . in that atmosphere and jackson and his co writer be at their most deferential to the original tolkien text and and almost humble in their approach to such a daunt task . after fotr be a big success and they become more confident in their own skill and and felt bold enough to try a little rewriting for the two tower and even while assure fan that it be only a little strategic reorganizing and and the original story would be preserve in rotk . by that point and however and jackson be so delude by the sycophantic flattery that surround him on all side and he be convince that the fan would adoringly accept anything he film and simply because it be the product of such a genius . rotk could not contain both tolkien story and jackson ego and and guess which win in the end . the story flop all over the place and with saruman storyline simply chop off and leave unresolved and while jackson waste time indulge in invent scene back in rohan and when the story should have move decisively to gondor . that and however and be not the part of the story that interest him and so we have to have more loving photography of carve dark wood beam and animal skin rug and plus a vastly overdraw love connection between eowyn and aragorn . when jackson finally have to tear himself away from this romantic viking paradise and turn to gondor and he revenge himself on the story by turn gondor into a sterile and dead cement city and full of coward and idiot . bad of all and i felt that by rotk jackson be even get sloppy on what have be a trademark of the film until then set design and scale . for a scene where gandalf and pippin be on a balcony and look towards mina morgul and he have both actor on the same set and with pippin merely kneel at the balcony and while gandalf tower over him . however and the brain can quite clearly calculate that the scale of the balcony in relation to the body of both character be wrong in fotr and jackson would have build a large scale model of the balcony for pippin and to keep up the illusion that he be a small figure in a setting make for people of gandalf size . this time and he couldn not be bother and a if he felt that he would pay his due be accurate in the first two movie and and now he should be free to play around and have fun . that be amply demonstrate with the stupid green goblin and the endless battle scene and the noise and the shaking camera and and the labored humour in every gimli scene . what annoy me the most and however and be that jackson seem to have no grasp of what tolkien thought be important . in the movie and only the star be able to act ( and yes and that include the hobbit ) and whereas tolkien show that nobility and courage and heroism be everyone business . in the book and the individual soldier of gondor have personality and felt connect to the great cause and and debate how best they could do their duty . in jackson movie and aragorn and gandalf do all the fighting and while crowd of woman blubber helplessly and soldier blunder about uselessly . this be why his removal of the scouring of the shire be both execrable and inevitable . jackson can not recognize any drama in ordinary people in ordinary setting face crisis and either fail or rise to the occasion to him and the shire be just dumb peasant who be too stupid not to leave home for adventure and and there nothing more to be expect of them . tolkien whole theme be that adventure and crisis be not the sole property of noble hero and but that it can touch anyone and and how we react when it do be as important a aragorn struggle with sauron or denethor descent into madness .
