[Quiet Man Cometh]

I thought he did a good enough job with LOTR as far as movie translations went, but then, it didn't have very big shoes to fill as far as predecessors went. LOTR is not something easily transferred to film, I'm not sure about The Hobbit but being that it's still Tolkein, I expect a good portion of it to be re-arranged or editted to suit a contained film rather than an open work with various attachments.
