The Witcher author is a fan of Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt – and even imagines the character speaking in Cavill's voice (www.gamesradar.com)

On the flip side of this, I wish Peter Jackson and co had been given the proper time to do the hobbit justice.

I at least agree with the 3 movies approach. In an effort to make it a kids book, Tolkien naturally rushes over scenes that aren't kid friendly. Like how the battle of the five armies is like a paragraph and can be summed up as "holy hell that was crazy and amazing, the giant eagles even showed up and carried the day. Too bad you were unconscious the whole time, eh Bilbo." I'm not sure Hollywood audiences would appreciate that kind of climactic fight bait and switch.
