When you say "the first three" do you mean episodes 4, 5 and 6 or 1,2 and 3?
George Lucas should have watched Sesame Street when he was a kid - he might have learned to count.

Anyway, I meant the most recent movies (I call them "the new ones" because it's just so weird to call them the first, second and third movie...) I liked the old ones with Harrison Forde!! Liam Neeson is OK, Ewan McGregor - all right (so basically, episode... er... well the one with Liam Neeson, you know what I mean is still OK) but the rest?? No way...

I like how dark III is but is marred by some terrible acting, Ewan McGgregor saves the prequels.
I've seen both.
They're both BUTCHERED!!!
I liked the way Asriel and Mrs Coulter were cast, but I noticed that they didn't bother with getting the details right and the ending meant that they'd screwed potential sequels over. (Not that they are going to make a Subtle Knife movie. )
In Eragon, Saphira grows up in horrible cheesy magical montage.
And Galbatorix isn't scary at all ....
If you've read the books a few times and you know how the story goes, prepare to be disappointed.

I have read the books. I always see movies/TV series as a 'version' of books, they can never be the same, as what you envisage from the written page is not what will be on the screen. But most of this is because the companies making them want profits first, and faithfulness to the original comes a very far second. I was therefore not disappointed; I liked both as films of the genre, not of the books per se. Everybody's idea of a character, a place, a scene is different. So I was not 'disappointed'; I never expected them to be true to the originals in the first place. You will never get a film or tv series to be totally word for word etc as the book.
