I thought Lance was the only major LOTR detractor here?
I have issues with some camerawork choices and the treatment of a couple characters, but overall I don't know who would have done a better job at writing, directing AND producing the thing.
Plus he deserves credit for making a star out of THE VIGG!
I enjoy Fellowship and Two Towers a fair amount, but found Return of the King to be fairly overblown, at least by comparison. I've tried to revisit the series and give it another shot, but I haven't really cared enough to do so. Nothing about it has stuck with me in a significant way and I usually love epic fantasies like this.
The one guy who comes to mind is Guillermo Del Toro, and there you go. Alfonso Cuaron is another pick, and possibly Spielberg? Or is he too much of a sci-fi fanboy to dip into the Middle Earth waters? How about Ridley Scott?
