I wouldn't have missed out on the movies for anything. They were vivid, imaginative, and a great cinematic achievement. They are worth seeing just for that. I was introduced to a range of super actors, which in turn has helped me to discover other great films which I didn't know existed.<P>I have never compared the books to the films, and while I understand why you all want to, I don't see the point in going too deep. As it has been pointed out earlier, they are an adaptation. I don't think it is worth moaning about every little detail that was left out. The films are fine as they are and what has been put in, tells the story well enough.
