The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) (2004)

all 3 movies are way overated...

I'm just so sorry to say this to fans, but I have to as currently I just read through all 3 books. The biggest distingulishment between the 2 mediums is, in simple words, the books are fun, the movies are boring. I will say it in another simple way, the books, amoung many other books in the same genre, it still stay both original and fun to read. The movies, however, compare to its type in movie market, way way way boring, to name a few in the market, "Willow", "Robin Hood-Prince of theives", "Harry Potter". I put most of the blame to this man who won the academy award, Mr. Peter Jackson. Dun get me wrong, the art department whom took the jobs for this movie done their job to make it unpossibly being better at this time around. But the core man who handle the main flow and the cut of the movie, is a main flaw under my witness. Jackson has just so little talent to be a director to handle this project, he has also no prevision of what this movie "should" turn out to be, I have no wonder some people would call this series of movie "documentary style", as beyond to be called a documentary of an epic novel, it has absolutly no style, the man is apparently randomly accepting whatever materials that come to his hands, a director without inspiration muscle got lost in teh big forrest of different possibilities and he simply just roll dice for it as his solution, I watched the "making of" discs, that's exactly what he looks like his doing there. May be people who support the books simply want no more but a clone version of book to be seen on big theaters, but I plead that thought, I love the books yet I plead becasue as I myself a definite lovers of movie magic who have seen so many great movies in the past, this movie just deliver so little, its dullness draw my patience in theater that I have to sustain so hard to sit through the whole movie, but then it was successful, supported by blinded fans whom driven by a genius writer who existed before my time, and Jackson took the credit without practicing very talent of his own.Every great movie makers in the past who's works are targeting to young audience brought their uniqueness to has a form of their movie style, to name a few - Speilberg, James Cameron, Scott Brothers. I'm more than in full confidence if this movie is handle by Speilberg, it would 10 times more fun yet stay original than the current dull version, James Cameron would make it entertaining but a little over the top of being cool for this movie, Scott Brothers would make the war goes beyond any of us can imagine but then the movie will become more or less a purely man's sport game, which will be a little weird. There are also many directors' name that well worth to mention to handle the job rather Jackson, here's a list of few - Danny Boyle, Cameron Crowe, Hiyao Miyazaki. The Art in these films are great, the core motion and story flow is bad, period.
