I liked the way the movie was shot.. I liked the way it flowed.. there were more funny instances that I remember from the book.. and of course, the climax, the fight, its not in the movie which made it feel unfinished. I will never understand the reason why they change the storyline on the books whenever they make a movie about it. Hopefully the DVD has all the missing parts.
Supposedly the last two films will not disappoint and they better not! I'm glad they are making the last film into two parts, that way it won't miss a bit.
I think this movie is a good movie if you haven't read the book.
