Having said that, I did enjoy the movie *as a representation of a few of the
best scenes from the book.* I'm waiting for the miniseries, 10-20 years from
now, to really enjoy it on screen (sort of like the BBC production of Pride
and Prejudice. It's my favorite screen version!)

No! Not BBC!!! I can't stand the lousy production, regardless of how
faithful the adaptations are, all the ones I've seen are shot on video, the
production values are extremely low and if they have to have special effects
they are distracting at best. They spent $200,000,000 to make HBP, the BBC
couldn't afford that for the entire series, they'd be lucky to spend 10% of
that. 

 

The better plan would have been to film 4 -5 hour films, release them all at
2:45 in the theaters, then capitalize on that extra footage on DVD and Cable
TV sales later. WB really dropped the ball there. Lord of the Rings and
Watchmen proved that the fans will be there to buy those extended editions.
After all, I was never upset with LOTR in the theaters because I knew most
of what was "missing" was coming on DVD in six months.
