The movies are action packed and colorful, which I enjoyed watching. However the books didn't left much of an impression to me. I was a bit disappointed, because due to the hype I assumed it would be a grand masterpiece. But in the end it didn't caught the fire.

I can understand that. The movies, quite naturally spent long periods of time with fight scenes that might have taken a page in the book. The books are a bit of a throw back to an earlier era.
