Peter Jackson

I'm not really into king kong but to each there own

NOT INTO HIS MUVIEZ, BUT THEY MAKE $

I haven't seen the early films of Jackson, so I can't comment on those. "King Kong" was boring at the beginning, and at the end for me. The parts on the island, and just before they got to the island were good though. The LOTR films were excellent overall, though unfortunately, at this writing, it appears that because of a legal issue ( Jackson is suing New Line) somebody else is going to wind up making The Hobbit and possibly a film that covers the events between The Hobbit and LOTR. Jackson's films may not be perfect, and I can't say that someone else wouldn't do a fine job, but I'm fearful that, knowing Hollywood, they will get Keanu Reeves to play Gandalf or Brad Pitt as Gollum or something. Hopefully, they'll come to some sort of arrangement allowing Jackson to make the film or films.

After the massive (and well deserved) success of "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy, Peter Jackson is at a crossroads. In other words, will he sit on his laurels like George Lucas after the "Star Wars" series or will he build on this success and make additional, varied and meaningful films. At this point, I would have to say that the jury is still out. With that said, I would have liked to have seen "TLOR" done in at least four parts. "Fellowship" would have benefited from more screen-time to flush out more of the story and develop the characters more for those not familiar with the story, and the screenplay was a bit weaker than "Towers" in particular. Nevertheless, the bottom line is three stars for succeeding with a difficult project and a demanding audience, but no more until future projects suggests otherwise.

He's good, but I'm probably going to get a load of "not helpfuls" for pointing out that the LOTR trilogy was highly overrated, particularly after the first film.

For a director to produce a film series that took almost a year and a half to make...that's worth 5 stars.

I wanted to give him one star to balance him out, but who am I to judge a guy with such high gross? I think over time he won't be remembered as fondly. His early films were much better to endure than LOTR. Heavenly Creatures being his finest work. The problem is that he didn't match everything well. 50% of the special effects / trickery looked hackneyed. One CGI bit would really get me on the edge just to go down the drain with a poor body double or a poor angle based around trickery or just lazy CGI. If you're going to do something, do it right - and he did that early on. I expect that he will fall flat once all the blind LOTR fans get bored with his other work.

ARe you kidding? You LOTR apologists kill me... You know that most of the movies were special effects... meaning done with a computer. What did he direct? The acting was nothing to brag about... Then this fat slob shows up to the Academy Awards looking like he just went on 5 day bender at Ponderosa.

Lord Of The Rings put Peter Jackson on the map for sure.Any project he wants to work on in the future would be a sure success.

The first director to ever attempt filming three movies at one time. He took on a massive project, and his work speaks for itself in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. As a lovable, furry, rotund character himself, I wholeheartedly applauded his recent awards. Good job, Peter!

Peter Jackson deserves high praise for directing The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. He deserves every award he recieves.

Peter Jackson is a marvel to the world of directing. He fought so hard to create the Lord of the Rings trilogy and his love for that project has certainly paid off. He has done these movies with such masterful skills that I almost don't think he should make any more films. Because how could he ever top those?

He has made two, and probably three excellent films. He has also made the veriest garbage. It is impossible to tell, at this point in his career, which is the real director. Jury's out.

he's ok but he has made many mistakes in his movies... MANY!!!

Before Lord of the Rings, I wouldn't have said more than a 4, but Two Towers is that rarity, a genuine masterpiece. It is without flaw, and for that he should be in the pantheon.

i loved heavenly creatures...cant wait for lord of the ring :)

Peter Jackson, director of Bad Taste (1987) and Meet the Feebles (1989). I know that the only reason he's on this list is because he is the director of three films that haven't been released yet, and that isn't fair to the other directors. Sorry guys. I highly doubt that The Lord of the Rings will be the best movie ever.

Peter Jackson is the first and only movie directors to film three movies back to back all together, that movie being the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Even though the Lord of the Rings has not been released yet I know that it will be the best movie in history, thanks to Peter Jackson.

HE DIRECTED THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY NEED I SAY MORE.....
