I thought the movie was fabulous. Unfortunatly I had other people telling me that I may not like it but THEY WERE WRONG. The actors did a great job and they grow on you even more as the movie goes on. I liked the little bit of comedy that was added. They could have made this movie 3 or 4 hours long and been able to cover more of what was in the book and people would still have been engulfed in it. The people in the veiwing I was in cheered all the way.
