If Jackson had ended up producing something very special and unique with "King Kong", then he probably would have cemented himself as one of the top five directors in the world. Instead, he took the original "King Kong" and simply redid it with better special effects. Boring! Jackson may really be shooting himself in the foot with his next project, "The Lovely Bones". Many insiders are already predicting it fail in financial terms because the high budget ($80 million) and the low-interest subject material. I agree.

Not surprised. He has let all the hype generated over Rings to go to his head. He has mistaken the fans love of Rings as love and admiration for him as a director. I give him credit for being able to handle big budget projects and pull them off adequately - but he's not adding anything to film history. I rank Jackson as a Spielberg protege - nothing more.
