The Peter Jackson Diaries II: Just like the book..

Watch Peter Jackson battle trolls, critics, purists and all kinds of dangers on his way to turn the Hobbit into a movie!

I think it's fair to say that Sir Peter Jackson is one of the most beloved directors of all time. However, he is also one of the most criticized ones, at least online.

I have to say that I NEVER saw any other director, who was critisized for literally EVERYTHING he ever did, every single little decision he made, as much as Peter Jackson seems to be. (I guess that makes him the Anti-Nolan in that aspect...)
But I guess that's what you get, when you make films for one of the most unsatisfiable of fandoms, and of course, when you make something THIS BIG and THIS SUCCESSFULL, then you get trolls and know-it-all-critics comming out of the woodwork too, so that's another thing...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that everyone who dares to dislike something is a troll or an idiot - but there were quite some "complaints" that I saw online that made me headdesk pretty hard...

NOTE: All complaints and critics potrayed in this series actually come from REAL comments I encountered online...
Yes, that means some people really said these things... But you know, what they say: You can only parody smart people - with stupid ones, it's enough to quote them...

Ah yes, the unpleasable people of the 21th century... ^_^
First they cry that LOTR left out too much, now they cry that they put in too much... XD
And let's be honest here - The Hobbit was a kids book, and it paints a whole lot different image of the dwarves, elves and Middle-Earth then Tolkien's later works...
So if you want it to be just like the book, you would get a Michael Bay blockbuster with old school Disney songs and non-stop action that only developes 2 characters at best ^^
