Second-guessing Peter Jackson - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Welcome to the Downs, Malinear. Yeah, you're right (sorry it's so long). I've been thinking about how I'd do the LotR since 1978, when Ralph Bakshi's version came out. But Peter Jackson made my life a lot easier by hitting near the mark.Hama, I agree. Moria is fear, wonder and darkness.. the heavy action sequences provoke an adrenaline hit, but not the feeling of a need for stealth. The tension of Moria is that you think they just might slip through unscathed. They did the Hall of the Dwarrowdelf just right though - there's definately wonder.A gag is good idea, if impractical for eating and so forth. At least Arwen should only speak Elvish, if she must speak.Nit-picking, no. I say $300M because I plan to revisit this thought (if not this exact thread) for the next three years.[ January 29, 2002: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]
