It's so great to have Peter Jackson at the helm agian.Jackson and his team have done a fantastic job.In the begining,I felt that the aestheic was a bit different,particulary with the Darwfs.They almost reminded me of Klingons a bit.But once I saw the film and got back into the feel,and spirit of the piece,I started to accept some of the new look and feel.The story was there from the moment film begins.I read the book about 7 years ago,so my knowledge of the plot was there.But to finaly see the book in live action after 10 years of hiatus and countless leagal battles to have it fully realized was phenominal and brought a chill to my neck to know that the material is still in the right hands of the person who helped make this project possible.The best part is that we get to see more of it in the next two years to come and I will be there to enjoy the excitment with the world as together we experience the joy of going back to this beloved saga of JRR Tolkien of his tales of Middle Earth. ...(read more)
After four years of waiting and its studio almost going bankrupt,this film was worth every penny.Without giving the major detail and revelations(and there were many of them) this film gave new life into the franchise.Almost like Casino Royale, it felt very fresh and even lmost like a begining.Even though the first Daniel Craig film was the begining of this whole new rebirth, this film felt it went full circle in everyway possible.As already seen in the trailers,the new interpritaion of Q gives a whole new feel then I thought would be feasible,but paid homage to his predecessors.I think that has to do with the new direction of Sam Mendez.At first I thought that he was not the right director for the job since he is well known for doing very personable, indipendant like films.But his direction on this film blew me away, and have no complaints what so ever on the film.This script co-written by John Logan(now commisioned for Bond 24,25) has set a new standard of what is to come.A+++work. ...(read more)
