I was never a fanatic for the books, though I enjoyed them when reading them in jr. high. I know many have read them over and over and are certainly more educated on them than I.

Not attacking, just discussing. This is a disccion board, right?
I give action movies far less leeway regarding character development if they insist on throwing an ensemble at me. If you're gonna go through the trouble of making me sit through a dozen different characters' dialogs and make me have to remember their names, they'd better be interesting and not some shallow cliche.
Atlantis is a good example. I really would have enjoyed the movie, with the same plot and action, if I didn't have to deal with every annoying sidekick cliche under the sun in the meantime.
