Not sure that I would recommend this movie to just anyone, I think that it might have hit me better if I had NOT read the books, I left the movie theater not at all impressed with it. I had asked some of my friends that hadn't read the books and they said it was ok. I am sorry to said it, but I loved the books and even the trailier that were out, but there was just something missing from the movie, maybe it was just the way that even the actors came acrossed as not really happy to be there, but I will give it another try and see if I change, but if your a lover of the books, and you have high expectations, don't go, it would just be 2 hrs of wasted time.
