To quote Ron Burgundy: "Compelling and rich."

They aren't my favorite movies or anything, but I do quite enjoy them. The world, the characters, the general tone and atmosphere. I even enjoy the cheesy, generic, old school storylines. More than anything, though, I just appreciate the amount of effort they put into these things.

If ATWOW is any indication, then I do think they'll continue to get better as it goes on. The storytelling will likely improve, but I wonder if the special effects won't be as stunning if/when the franchise outlives James Cameron.
