i have no doubt that the movies will be excellent.. i've been looking forward to them since i first heard mention.. i won't be too distraught if i end up having to wait a week and dl the divx though. and it looks like that's going to be the case unless someone miraculously shows up and invites me to see it :)
i can sorta equate this to the star wars stuff.. i had never made it through a star wars movie without falling asleep (and i surely logged at least 7 or 8 attempts) until episode 1 came out.. and i actually sorta liked it. i could have done without jar-jar and some of the action sequences, but there were parts that i really liked.
i think the relation comes mostly to the way things are built up.. the books always seemed to be building up to something that never came.. so i'd give up waiting for it.. the older star wars movies seemed to do the same, but i only have about 30 minutes to get hooked on a movie or else i either change it or fall asleep :)..
