That's always been what's puzzled me about this. Even with the books being so immensely popular and beloved beforehand, the films were for me and many other people, the reason they decided to seek out and read the books for the first time. And many of those people, just like me, became devoted fans of the books. I don't understand how that can be a bad thing.

Fine, but the BBC version included additions to the novels, as did PJ's films...

Agreed with this...more high-quality screen productions would have been great. //
