Now yeah I may be generalizing a bit, but it seems like many film types have it in their heads that shock always equals good

I suppose I could agree with that somewhat.
So are you saying we should excuse PJ and his partners because shocking people is in their nature? Even if that is completely true, I don't think that is a good enough excuse.
About the fight scenes- I don't really mind them. I think that sticking strictly to the book in battles does not work. The descriptions are too short. The battles are supposed to last for hours and yet they take up fewer pages than a five minute conversation. This would be ridiculous on the screen.

I agree about the lack of respect for teens. Let's extend it to everyone; the typical 'movie' audience.

What's wrong with that?
I had a general lack of respect for teens when I
was a teen. Now that I'm older, I have extended this general feeling of disdain to the entire population. Some of us are just crabby, pessimistic people.
