Personally I couldn't stand his movies before the LotRs trilogy and after watching them my opinion reached new lows. He changed so much in LotRs and didn't waste any time patting himself on the back in about every interview I have seen him in. He goes over the top with sound FX and CG you might as well be watching a cartoon. For all the money put into his efforts they just look fake. But to give credit where credit is due. He did manage to make the things inspite of the forces of Hollywood.
i heard a rumor that there was an interview with peter jackson where he said that he thought legolas and aragorn were in love with each other or something like that? am i right? if so where can i find it?
Bad acting (with some notable exceptions), bad writing, and bad directing. The visuals and cinematography are great, especially during battle scenes, but they're pretty mediocre films, even if you don't compare them to the book. If you do compare them to the book, they are epic fail.
Hehe yeah, the english tranlated name for that movie is Pans Labrynth.
One of my favourite movies of all time, clearly a work of genius.
He is splitting the Hobbit into two movies, as he doesn't believe that he will get the entire story into one 4 hour movie, so except another two Lotr length movies :D
I can't wait!
2011 and 2012 they will be released, they will be very good years, bit too far away tho, atleast I have James Camerons Avatar this year to keep me going! :P
As an American I have to admit that New Zealandish and European Theater is Far Superior than that of America despite the fact that American Films are like a Quarter of the World's Films.... I actually am going to be a Director myself and I hope to Evolve the World of American Theater to contain Poetic Beauty instead of just killing people with guns and blowing things up.... those things are really setting off a bad example for everyone...
@salashaska223 You do realize that the American film industry is among the most diverse in the world. You describe American films as if they are all mindless blockbusters when clearly that is not the case. Even so, these blockbusters are HUGELY popular around the world and are loved there as much as the USA. My point is that while there are many mainstream popular movies in the USA made for simple entertainment, there are also many indie-style thought provoking, story-driven films.
@salashaska223 I would hope for the same thing but with all honesty I dont think that will ever happen. There are far too many Americans that practice the art of ignorance and for the most part all Americans have a short attentions span. In terms of box office success, Poetic beauty will get you nowhere which in turn will make it harder for your films to be made. THe best route I think is what many film makers nowadays do is one for them and one for me
@salashaska223 really? Cause the only one from NZ who is considered a blockbuster maker, is Jackson. America seems to have the top directors, including Speilberg, Tim Burton, David Lynch, Scorcese, Tarantino, George Lucas (well was), Michael Moore, Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen and so on. I'm not saying NZ director's aren't good, but superior directing and films? C'mon.
i can't imagine the hobbit being as good as the lord of the rings as it is much less darker. so i hope they don't make it cause i might even not watch it as it will spoil my view as lotr as being the best trilogy as i will remember hobbit being a let down
"Jackson and New Line Cinema reached an agreement over "Lord of the Rings" royalties, enabling them to move ahead with the long awaited prequel to the "Rings" trilogy. Del Toro, the man behind "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy brings some outstanding credentials to "The Hobbit" project which will encompass two feature films slated for release in 2010 and 2011. The two filmmakers will work hand-in-hand overseeing the J.R.R. Tolkien novel's adaptation."
I knew Del torro had been picked and I do enjoy his movies Pans Lab ,Hellboy and Blade 2 but I would still have liked to have seen PJ direct The Hobbit to keep up the high standard he achevied with LOTR
Basically all comments here are in error at this point.

The Hobbit is in development now, with Peter Jackson as producer and writer but not director.
The amazing director of Hellboy 1+2, Blade 2 and Pans Labrynth, Guillermo Del Toro, is making them.
He will do an amazing job, on par or better than Jackson I hope.
His film making abilities are simply magical.

Hi, I found this:
"Jackson and New Line Cinema reached an agreement over "Lord of the Rings" royalties, enabling them to move ahead with the long awaited prequel to the "Rings" trilogy. Del Toro, the man behind "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy brings some outstanding credentials to "The Hobbit" project which will encompass two feature films slated for release in 2010 and 2011. The two filmmakers will work hand-in-hand overseeing the J.R.R. Tolkien novel's adaptation."
