I haven't read any of the books, I never cared much for fantasy, and I generally avoid action films, so I'm probably not the person who should have anything to say about it all. I also know not to trust screenplays to represent the original literature, so anything that didn't make sense to me I'll assume was lost in translation.

Nevertheless, I did like the movies for sheer entertainment. I liked the first two better. I didn't think the third one was bad, I just got way overloaded on battle scenes and sort of went numb. I don't think I have the capacity for suspension-of-credulity required to really *love* them but I knew that going in so I won't complain.

(Of course, it didn't help that they went and killed off Sean Bean in the first one. *Sniff*)
