An Epic that comes once a generation

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2004)

1977, a Long time ago in a galaxy far far away... there was a genra busting masterpiece Star Wars, then a darker and far superior Empire, then marketing of lunch boxes led to ewoks in Jedi and the Series fell off...
I worry from time to time that there is no creativity out there wich is how we end up with the 6th star wars when the series ran out of gas after the second, I like most people read the LOTR in HS and always worried that they would attempt to make it and it would be cheesey (imagine clash of the titans level effects and lack of cinematography for the LOTR series)
Peter Jackson has brought vision to bring the books to life to make it real, but I also feel he has also define a new standard on the use of CGI, there in the last few years has been a backlash against CGI the hul looked fake, and star wars attack of the clones while fun looked like a cartoon, it really impairs with the suspension of disbelieve and the gravity of it all... Peter Jackson has found the balance to create the incredible without it being unrealistic or fake....
Amazing triliogy, most trilogies do not maintain throught out, (the matrix movies decline rapidly after a brilliant original and a decent second to a horrid conclusion) and I already mentioned the evil ewoks...
