My fantasy-hating husband refuses to go the theatre with us to see this movie even though it's something we can do with our kids and family at Xmas time because "I'm not wanting to go to a movie with a bunch of groupies" (my siblings and I are fans). His attitude is ridiculous, mind you, because no one in the family is so dedicated that we would EVER go to the theatre in costume and with props like it was a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (I wouldn't go to see that one at all, btw). More than anything else, I think he just feels like an odd-man-out with us because we like it and he doesn't see the charm. Unless a story is based on something with a more ordinary every day feel to it, he's bored. But, in my opinion, just because one does not care for fantasy it does not follow that the fantasy lover is a nut or a zealot! And on that same note, it bugged me that when it was announced that Peter Jackson was returning to Middle Earth, many people said or had an attitude of "Not again" as if PJ had made nothing else in the last ten years. It's funny that some of the same people who make these statements are the same people who admire the works of other directors even though they make the same kind of stuff over and over. Tyler Perry, James Cameron, and Martin Scorsese come to mind for doing that. Scorsese, for instance, has been making the same kind of gritty, urban film for thirty years and people think he's great (I think his gangster stuff is crap, btw. His characters are vile, violent, and what's worse, booorrring. The Departed and Casino were especially bad). I never am interested in any of his gangster characters and I don't have a predjudice against the genre because I believe Coppola's The Godfather is one of the best films ever made. I know Scorsese's made The Aviator and Hugo, but I think he's better when he stays out of American cities. But I know, if he were to suddenly announce that he decided to make another grim trip to Jersey or the Lower East Side, NO ONE would say "What?? Again???" like they do with Jackson. In my opinion, there's a common snobbery that people who are not fans seem to share.
