Neithan,

I see it like this. Sure the movies aren't on the same scale as the books. No way they ever could be, but it's a bit like how I became interested in classical music.
Back in the 70's, I really like Emerson, lake and palmer. They came out with their version of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Was it anything like the original? Well... yeahhhhh... kinda. But then again, no.
Classical music lovers panned it, for the most part.
But it brought me to classical music and perhaps, watching the movies will bring people to the books.
Love to go on about this, but I''ve got a meeting to go to.
