Writing is incredibly difficult and he has reached a point in life where I would not want to continue if I were in his position. With his story told, and the millions he has earned from the series, I totally understand that he has little interest in or energy for the project. -

It was overlong. Plots meandered or else went over points multiple times when the audience should have gotten the message already.
Thoughts?
I'm 62% through The Way of Kings, and I already feel this way. I made the mistake of buying Oathbringer based on the best books of the year thread, and discovered afterwards that it was the third in a door-stop series.
Is there any reason to expect my attitude will change if I continue? -

Obviously Phantom is not the worst movie of all time, but I still have a fair argument that it might have the biggest difference between expectations and delivery of any movie. -

Just Finished S2. Very enjoyed it. Excellent writing/storytelling, most of the cast is just killing it. Will look fwd to S3.
Yes, it's really well done. I like that knowing the book does not hurt the viewing experience since it leaves so much up for interpretation. -

I apologize if I have already pontificated about this.
Given the place of the series in our culture, given the excitement around a new trilogy, and given a really strong preview that was online, I'd argue that The Phantom Menace is the worse movie of all time. Has there ever been a greater gulf between expectations and actual product? I had a former student who, as a student at Northwestern, was first in line at the premiere in Chicago, which meant that he camped out on the street. He said that when he went to bed after the show, he cried at how terrible the movie was.
I know there has been some revisionist opinions about the movie.
