The Peter Jackson Appreciation Thread

I don't think Jackson has lost all artistic merit but it's clear he's taken a dive since the early 2000's. Namely he's forgotten how to edit a movie, though to be honest there were early traces of that with the ending to Return of the King.

I find it interesting that LOTR had three different editors, and feels more of a whole than the Hobbit which only had one editor.

Well,its PJ making all the editing decisions, the credited editors are just the guys operating the machines doing what he asks.

The editors had more creative control in LOTR though, judging by what you could see in the appendices.

I don't quite remember, but the LOTR editors were responsible for some major cut suggestions as well. But yes, PJ still did a lot, or most of the work in the editing room. He had more guts and a keener eye for editing and pacing back then.
