probably my favorite movies. Love the second 2 in the trilogy.
Surprisingly I haven’t sat through a full movie in any of the series. Not sure why I’ve done all the Star Wars and others.
But the books were still better :)
I rather watch a movie than read but I’m sure you are definitely not alone.
I liked all those movies!
