My problem with the later two movies is that they don't really spend much time on character development but rather just present the characters and rely on familiarity with the books to fill in the characterization (or the promise of 23-hour extended editions on DVD).
Now, while I love it when an action movie develops characters and motivations and I'll always have a better opinion for it I also don't necessarily require it any more than I dock a character-drama for not having a quality car chase.
