over rated, a 7 unbalenced editing

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2004)

this film is overrated , the dying in the arms scenes ( a lot of them ) should have been shorter in length , the ending could have been shorter
i respect jackson as a director but not an editor , also slow motion should be shot that way not slowed on an avid it looks like cheap tv effects.
on the positive side new zealand has a great filmmaking history with whale rider and the piano as two of the best films from NZ , the lotr films are not bad but over rated i predict the effects in lotr will look like the old bw king kong film in as many years , lets hope jackson lives up to his oscar and becomes a better director in the future.
