Alex, I understand what you're saying, but the fact remains that the books are driving the movies. I'm not going to go see a movie based upon a book and state that the book sucks because the movie does. I won't review a book driven movie without reading the book first, either. Especially not one of a series. Kind of like going to see The Two Towers without having read either the books or seen the first movie. It's a great movie, but it does not stand on it's own without the support of it's cinematic or literary predecessor.
