if you've read the books - don't go into the movie thinking what you've conjured up in your mind to be the same caliber as the movie, otherewise you'll be let down. for the budget they had & having to make the book into a 2 hr. movie - they did a great job. if they had a larger budget & could have made it at least a 1/2 hr. longer - would have been much better. overall though, great movie - captured the tension & everything! well worth it!
