Well... just finished watching the first one. It sucked. Bad sucked. REALLY bad sucked.
There wasn't a single, not one single, important event in this travesty that occurred ANYTHING like the books. What irks me most of all are the small things. In the book his true name is "Ged" and his usename is "Sparrowhawk" (true names, after all, are not given in the common speech but in the old tongue) - in the movie they reversed this. Why? I can think of now other reason that some sixth rate hack pounding away on his latte-soaked powerbook thought it "sounded better". But really - why when you've already raped the story must you spit in its eye? But - at the very least, I got the extended edition of "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" today, so at least I can watch something that respected its source.
