I actually really liked the prequels but I saw more of Kevin J. Anderson in the writing.
Then again, I’m just sitting back waiting for a Foundation or Rama series of films.
The problem with getting a book to the screen is the director.
Like a dog, they have to sniff it and piss on it before anything else about it can get done.
The foundation trilogy would take at least 7 or 8 full length movies. Fabulous reading. Difficult to film.
