I guess the fantastic production design, haunting musical score, excellent screenplay and fine editing must have flown right by you, huh? Or were you just focusing attention on the FX and not on the other positive elements of the films, each of which has earned rave reviews and won awards at one time or another?WOW. I must say I find that quite insulting. So you're saying any person who likes the movies more than the book is a moron? No don't answer that.Listen, I never stated that the movies were better than the books, I merely expressed my disatisfaction with the hardline Tolkien elitist fanboys who unfairly regard the films as dreck and are unwilling to accept the opinions of those who did like the films. You want my opinion? Well I still like the book better than the movies, despite my love for the latter. And I don't see the need to insult those who disagree with me by saying their intelligence is lacking. That would be snobbery. Just so you know, a director can only be accused of being a bad storyteller if the film loses the plot halfway, characters are underdeveloped, and has no sense of pacing. These were problems I did not encounter in the whole of the LOTR trilogy, so I fail to see what you're going on about. Maybe you think he's just a bad storyteller because he failed to translate the holy text word for word, no?Anyways, I've gotten way off base now with this ranting, so I'll stop right here so the discussion can go back to ASOIAF. Apologies.</blockquote>
