I wasn't knocking him for doing horror movies, I haven't watched any of them - I don't watch horror films - and anyway I knew that was what PJ was (mostly) famous for before LotR too.
I was juding him on Spiderman. While I think he did an adequate job for that style of film I'm having a hard time imagining the realistic rich world of PJ's LotR being echoed in the Hobbit. Though I might be totally wrong because people are always full of surprises.
God I would never want someone like Spielberg or Scott doing it either the styles of films they do are totally different to the world of Middle Earth captured in the trilogy. I haven't spent time thinking of who I'd want, but Sam Raimi, as much as I like the guy and his brother, wasn't the first person who I would've jumped at to be selected for it.
