Guillermo Del Toro to Direct 'The Hobbit'

I was really impressed with Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth. It will be interesting to see what he will do with 'The Hobbit'.

I still complain about Peter Jackson's handling of LOTR. I won't reiterate all the problems I saw with the trilogy, but I did feel that he effectively erased what deep character development existed in the books in lieu of overly-long action scenes. I remember seeing bits of "King Kong" in Taiwan and being really, really bored. Almost like he overshot the target.

I really enjoyed watching "The Adventures of Tintin" and I hope Jackson doesn't screw up the movie adaptation.
