I have read the books, so the first time I saw the movie I was so wrapped up in my prejudices of what I thought the movie would be, and how I thought the characters should act that I wasn't fully able to enjoy it for what it was. When I went back the second time I was able to see it for what it is, and I found I was much more able to enjoy it. All in all, it's a great film, but I do wish they had perhaps spent more time focusing on what actually occurred in the book rather than adding in superfluous scenes to accomplish the same effect. I can't wait to see the next one!!
