Why did Peter Jackson completely fail to make another good movie after LOTR? Was the entire trilogy a fluke? Was it only good because the source material was good?

King Kong 2005 was great
The Lovely Bones at the very least good
i believe he has one more kino in him
>King Kong 2005 was great
>great
alright buddy
There's a lot of great ideas in it, but his Kong is the very definition of overindulgence. Reigned in, it could've been great. But it's absolutely not. No one would've been telling him to shut up directly after that success in LotR.
Three t-rexes is too many
yeah
They Shall Not Grow Old is probably one of his best. He’s still making kino it’s just mostly on the documentary and tech side.
>The Lovely Bones at the very least good
Demented moron movie base on a demented moron book.
And apparently it's not even a good adaptation.
Meaning they both suck equally, but for different reasons.
Goose was lucky he got fired from it.
>King Kong 2005 was great
lol
>They Shall Not Grow Old
Just stitched together a bunch of old footage, actually he didn't even do that he just passed it onto his team and gave them some vague instructions.
The only success he ever had was riding off others' coat tails. He still hasn't acknowledged how much his LOTR was '''inspired''' by Bakshi's version and just wanted others to believe it was all his vision.
Perfect fit for Hollywood I guess.
lotr burned him out. the same thing happened to francis ford coppola with apocalypse now.
Coppola made plenty of kinos after that.
He was touched by God for lotr, that's about it. I can't see a regular man dreaming up anything that good. Lotr was a modern day masterpiece from every angle you look at it
>He was touched by God for lotr
For only two movies. Return of the King sucks. It's almost Hobbit trilogy tier.
Wrong. Watch the movie why don’t ya.
LOTR had people that stopped his dumb ideas. His original plans were for Arwen to fight at Helms Deep and for Aragorn to fight Sauron in ROTK.
Fellowship was a fluke, everything he did since has been shit
Hobson Trilogy is kino
I am surprised he hasn't made a new LOTR edit where all the practical effects are replaced with CGI shit yet
he’s not insane like George Lucas
He makes documentaries now
They Shall Not Grow Old
>meme DNR tech makes everything look like smeared vaseline
>does it again for the Beatles just to be sure
I have a feeling that stuff was terrible on purpose. I think they figured out perfect AI filmmaking, freaked out at the heaviness of the implications, then quickly made that crap we were served. The Beatles stuff was just ugly, while the WW1 stuff uses reverence as a cover for some very obvious cheap digital background inserts etc.
Then 2 minutes later, PJ releases a "newly separated" Lennon voice track for Paul (Faul/Billy) and Ringo to turn into a new Beatles song. I bet some "new archival footage" will be "discovered" soon too. But 100% AI generated, and fricking flawless.
King Kong wasn't good?
Because the LOTR movies were so incredibly successful people don't really think about how brutally difficult of an undertaking it was, or how insane the guy's life was for years. Because he didn't get any time off between films like most people would. Sam Raimi took 2 or 3 years between Spider-Man films. Lucas took 3 years between prequels. Jackson did 3 of these movies in 3 years, and also had to finish off the most extensive re-edits in history for the extended editions during and after.
He did it, but it broke him. He was already cracking up by the time ROTK was getting wrapped. Once you've seen the extended version it becomes apparent how severely compromised the theatrical cut is. Cutting Christopher Lee out entirely is still fricking baffling. But the dude was exhausted and just had to hack away towards the end to get the thing out the door in time.
And now he has the director equivalent of PTSD and his internal clock is off. His movies aren't as tight. He spent so much time assembling these monstrous films he lost his grip on normality. King King was supposed to be two hours and fifteen minutes and instead it was three hours. The Hobbit films were all three hours even though they had to add completely terrible and unnecessary content just to pad them to that length. He sort of of lost his way. And he'd probably say it was totally worth it to achieve that one ultimate success but I do think the guy who made more subtle kino like Heavenly creatures is dead now. LOTR was a pyrrhic victory
Hobbit movies were good.
I liked the barrels scene.
They Shall Not Grow Old was a good documentary, and it was all down to Peter Jackson and his team.
Bad Taste is his last good movie. The Lord of the Rings movies are ruined books.
He failed to make a good movie after Fellowship.
>Why did Peter Jackson completely fail to make another good movie after Braindead?
Fixed that for ya.
Would
Look at them! Why did everyone look so good back then? Most of them aren't even conventionally attractive but they all look good, even Jackson, a fat bearded nerd with huge glasses looks cool. You could get a group photo of "good looking" actors today and they would look ugly in comparison. Is it the toxics in our food? Chemicals in the water? Sedentary lifestyle? Lack of sunlight? Why is everyone so fricking ugly now?
>Look at them! Why did everyone look so good back then? Most of them aren't even conventionally attractive but they all look good
Good jawlines and a strong nose.
>this was considered comically obese in 2001
Didn't he have like a hundred million to make LOTR? Was this a lot at the time?
