He is a very poor performance director.TTT, and I loved the movie, was not extraordinarily well-acted, more due to the writing than the actors themselves. There were many non-sensical parts. I wish someone would have hit Peter Jackson in the head to stop him from making stupid changes to the movie.One part I utterly felt was foolish was when Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas started striking people down in Theoden's hall. That was utterly unnecessary. It made the acting between Theoden and Gandalf more comical rather than allowing just the two actors to build the drama of the scene.As much as I loved TTT, I am glad PJ is not nominated as Best Director. He deviated too far from the story and it showed poorly in the scenes that could have been the strength of TTT.He added action where he should have added drama too many times. Glad the critics could see this.Best Picture I can kind of understand since the movie does raise the bar on Special Effects and Fantasy movies in general.</blockquote>
