I knew that the book would be better than the movie, but I can't really point what it was missing, but I can say things needed to be polished. I like the director and her other movies, but not for this one. It seemed more like a B movie then top of the line A. This was compared to HP movies and this is no where close. HP is very polished and also is not a love story lol. I will probably see it again to see if things change. But again this was done too quickly and needed some more blending.
