3. Great Opportunities For Creature Creation
Another excellent element of Jacksons directorial skills is his creature creation. The live action orcs in The Lord of the Rings were a welcome respite from the CGI overload of the Star Wars prequels. The motion-capture technology used to create Gollum was brilliant. And Jackson also brought to life several of Tolkiens more unique creations, such as the tree-esque Ents. He could do even more of this with
The Silmarillion. Unlike the shadowy figure he became by the time of
The Lord of the Rings, Sauron was a flesh-and-blood (more or less) entity in The Silmarillion, and itd be great to see how Jackson interprets that. Likewise, we would see the Valar during the War of Wrath, and Id love to see Jacksons take on a god. Even the elves would require some creativity. The slight figures of the elves in
The Lord of the Rings was the result of thousands of years of living. During the time of
The Silmarillion they were stronger beings, and some of themthose that had lived in the Valinorhad godlike qualities.
