I'm enough of a nerd that I re-read the lord of the rings and the silly-marillion as an adult, and was pretty disappointed by the 3 movies.
My opinion is that stuff that is supposed to be over the top awesome shouldn't be shown in a movie, for example the first half of jaws where you see no shark? In lotr the balrog is described as 'a shadow wreathed in flame', not some big giant stacked devil thing. It could and should have been a million times scarier.
So anyway, after the deluge of negative press I was expecting the wurst.
Watched the opening 10 minutes last night and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not condemning it yet. I guess I've got a billion dollars of episodes left to piss me off.
