Was Christopher Tolkien right?

[Lush]

A miniseries though will not have the same scope and budget though.

Per Bethberry's question:

I haven't seen anything else Jackson has done, Child. Should I?

Yes. Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures" is a wonderful, twisted, bizarre sort of movie. You may not necessarily enjoy it, but you will not easily forget it.

In the overall context of the thread, I think that everyone answers Child's question for themselves. For me, the case on Peter Jackson is pretty much closed; as in, yes, his adaptation satisfies me so far.

As for Christopher Tolkien, well, he is biased. There's nothing wrong with that, but we ought to keep that in mind.
