* CreatorBacklash: He has retroactively described the process of making the ''Lord of the Rings'' films "a mess" and criticized their reliance on computer generated imagery.

That said he has also insisted that he doesn't regret starring in the trilogy and appreciates the opportunities it opened up for him, and that he's still friends with most of his former castmates.
