the movie was great! well worth the hour drive to the theater and home again! they covered the main parts of the book but just made them simple and to the point. i know people who read the books might be disapointed but come on people what did u expect a 5 hour movie. out of all the movies i think they left out the least in this one. plus i look at the movies like a supplement to the books, i know what happened in the book so when they leave it out of the movie i know it still happened. it's kinda like being the ultimate spoiler cuz you know so much more than someone who hasn't read the books. for example it was fun explaning things to my dad last night on the drive home (someone who's never read the books). overall AWESOME job!
