The books were very detailed action packed, and I couldn't put them down. When it came to the movie, everyone was so excited to see it, and when I saw it I was like "Thats it ?" It was really a let down. It moved from scene to scene so fast, and didn't get in everything the book did. The important parts weren't really played out too well either. But the movie in a whole did not reach my expectations. I thought I was going to see this 3 or 4 times. But I'm okay with one. There were a lot of parts of the book left out. And it seems the preview pretty much showed all of the exciting parts. I much prefer to read the book again than see this movie.
