I can agree that LOTR sucked, however what was accomplished was nothing short of a miracle in a day and age in hollywood where 70's TV shows being turned into movies is the mainstay.

Moviegoers are sick and tired of being rehashed the same crap year after year from these garbage directors. Not that Steven Spielberg or George Lucas are any different, they AT LEAST disguise what we as people already know, and intertwine that into a storyline that we're familiar with, and can all relate to on a personal level because of that established knowledge.

Peter Jackson filled a void where one needed to be filled and sasiated. His movies might not be the best, but because of it's timing, it might as well be hailed as one, and so it has.

Lastly, another thing to remember is that there has been a severe lull between fantasy based movies, especially using cutting edge ILM CGI. That said, there are scores upon scores of people who are either familiar with the LOTR book, or animated episodes, and in either case, a fully realized incarnation using today's technology is a visual feast for the eyes that up until then was only ever seen with your mind.

I'm not feeling King Kong, I just dont like Jack Black when he's not with KG, he's a real prick when he's himself.
