I was put off by LotR because he's so in love with his special effects shots that he has to repeat every one AT LEAST once (e.g. flying rocks crushing Orcs). And he puts in a lot of pointless shots of people riding, etc. Plus too many "stirring" speeches. I think each film could have been at least 45 minutes shorter without any loss. I figured KK would have more of the same, and it sounds like it does. If he would just let a good editor have at it, he could be much better.
