Ha, yeah, I guess you could say "Delightfully!"
Good point about the reality of an armored polar bear, but my main beef isn't with the medium so much as the lack of progress we've made in the field. My favorite part of the books was my ability to totally suspend disbelief and I could really sort of imagine all aspects of the movie. One selling point I think it has going is that (and keep in mind I was 17 when I read these books) everyone's gonna want a daemon and they could probably make a mint off merch sales for them!
Edit: Oh yeah, and Brannaugh's adaptation of Frankenstein is another outstanding example of bad adaptation (Actually I've never read the novel, it might be totally faithful...if so, the book must not be worth the hype!)
