Peter Jackson´s point of view

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2002)

The film is interesting and exciting, there is no doubt about that. It has great special effects, that is true. Great score and great cast, it is true, except Liv Tyler, I don´t know what is she doing there. But we have to realise that this film represents the directors point of view about the book. At the end the film loses power because of the sentimentalism that is well-known in hollywood productions. I am not saying that because of that the film sucks. I am saying that does not help much. Peter Jackson falls in the temptation of directing blockbusters, forgetting that the most important element in a film is the script, and you can not say this is a bad script. Tolkien created one of the most complex drama-adventures and Jakson directed the most complex bed story. It is not bad but it can always be better, right?
