SFX-driven movies in general have become the bane of quality movie-making. I'm thinking especially of movies like the Willy Wonka remake and yea, even Jurassic Park, where the actors spend a lot of time standing around staring blankly at the spots where the CGI critters and effects weren't there yet. Mortensen is right: it really does have an effect on the acting, and it certainly shows in his own performance. In the third LOTR film in particular, he stands around muttering into his beard a lot, rather than behaving like the warrior-king of a mighty army, even in the heat of battle.
