I probably shouldn't even be replying, since I won't be expressing anything new. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I do like the books better because they have such depth that the movies can't even begin to plumb. As far as movies go, though, I did enjoy them and think they were well made, but not really on the plane of the trilogy. I really don't think one should expect them to be.
Peace
