I'd like to know why everyone likes these movies, when I read the books, I had a completely different universe imagined... I kinda wish george lucas had done the LOTR movies instead. I felt that Willow and Krull (different director) were closer to the worlds I imagined and more fast paced. Peter Jackson's movies seem to crawl along at a snail's pace. The only redeeming quality is Smeagle... otherwise I find the series almost completely unwatchable. This is supposed to be high fantasy, not a trip to the library.
