With regard to Saucepan Man's comments, I should clarify that despite my criticisms I did enjoy the films enormously. And I certainly wasn't expecting to see some kind of Ingmar Bergman art-house flick, I'm all for good battle scenes....But because I care about the book, there were certain aspects that I found very frustrating and/or disappointing, times (dwarf-tossing springs to mind) when I was jolted out of my enjoyment and involvement with the action, with a wince.<BR>Rather like the little girl with the curl - when the films are good, they are very, very good, but when they are bad they are horrid.<p>[ 6:37 AM December 17, 2003: Message edited by: Lalaith ]
