I wrote my Master's thesis on Tolkien many years ago; it was entitled
"An Annotated Glossary of the Proper Names in the Mythopoeic Fiction of
J.R. Tolkien." I thought Jackson did a pretty fair job with an
extremely difficult task and I thought most of the CG stuff was adequate
especially in the opening battle scenes where the One Ring is taken from
Sauron. With the advances in CG, as evidenced in "Avatar", I would think
that a remaking of LotR would be astonishing. Anyway, I thought Jackson
did rather well the primitive technology at hand. But, hey, I'm hardly
an objective observer. I really wanted to like the films, and I did, but
I've been told I'm a cheap date. Regards,
