Well I was largely browsing those reviews for my own interest, but I think that they are relevant here. I accept that we are not arguing in the sense of saying that another person's feelings about the films are "wrong". The main point that I think the reviews are relevant to here is the issue of whether the "inconsistencies" and "plot-holes" reasluting from "dumbing down" made much of an impact on non-book fans.
Hmm, I'm beginning to use quotation marks as much as I did on the dreaded C-thread ...
