Eh, not really. While they were certainly fantastic movies, with good character development, they were far from perfect. Legolas and Gimli come to mind. Totally glossed over that. Which makes the original Poseidon Adventure that much more impressive. 3 extra-long movies, and Peter Jackson failed to do the side characters justice. Whereas in PA, a standard length single movie, every character got the treatment they deserved.
