The amount of work PJ put into the three films, and the sheer commitment involved is admirable. He did an excellent job of creating a fantastic movie experience. It was risky and he could have upset so many fans, but he pulled it off in spectacular fashion.
I feel he deviated from the source material only as much as he had to, to create something that appealed to ordinary movie-goers. And he came up with something that no only pleases the fans, but delights this particular fan.
They are without doubt, fantastic films. PJ deserves a hell of a lot of credit for them. I could sing his praises until the cows came home for giving me a cinematic experience I'll never forget.
