BTW, tell me who has brought the LOTR trilogy and the Hobbit to the big screen who has done a better job.
You can get back to me when you find out no one else has.
I really liked the LOTR movies, but I think he really missed the boat with The Hobbit. Expanding the story into three movies was a terrible idea. The endless Orc battles simply blended into each other. I barely made it through the last one. Jackson seemed determined to make the single book of The Hobbit as "big" as LOTR. If someone would cut the three Hobbit movies down to one there might be a movie there.
