While it left out a lot of parts in the book--or even recreated the scenes in a completely different place from the book--it was an EXCEPTIONAL movie experience! I genuinely enjoyed this installment, and found that while I haven't read the book in a few years I still enjoyed the scenes I remembered. The discrepancies with the book weren't as severe as I thought they would originally be (it IS a rather huge volume to attempt to fit within a very limited time-frame). All in all, the BEST of the movies so far.
