Beautifully shot. Beautifully cast! Wonderfully adapted from the book! I was not in the least disappointed, as sometimes a book-to-movie can tend to leave you. My only complaint is that it needed to be longer! I'm a nearly 40 mom and I have enjoyed the books immensely. I took my 6 year old daughter to see it (upon her request!), she loved it too and thought it was "sooo romantic and exciting!" Now she wants me to read the books to her! We can't wait for the next movie! (my husband is now a fan as well!) Hurry up and get that thing done! LOL! ~Syraminx~
