and it turns out Mr. Shore likes these movies quite a lot:

"The books tell a fantastic story in a familiar style, but the movies transcend the apparent limitations of their medium in the same way that Wagner transcended the limitations of opera. They revive the art of Romantic wonder; they manufacture the sublime."

Edited out to make it look like he panned the movie. He did not. He just likes Wagner more.
