Let me also add my agreement. I think the acting and especially the way you can see in the Extras how Jackson got his thespians to repeat a scene again and again until he was satisfied (shoot me down if you like, but I compare PJ to Stanley Kubrick in this regard) was trully enspired in this Trilogy.

And a complete opposite to this would be Samuel L Jackon's wooden acting in the Star Wars prequels. I truly believe this is the worst acting I have ever seen by a 'good' actor on Screen. And this must be largely due to the way Lucas wanted him to portray his character.

PS - The nearest 'bad' acting I have seen to compare with SJ's character in Star Wars was Harry Enfiled in the first series of Men Behaving Badly which was truly awful!!
