This movie did not disappoint but it did not fufill expectations either. The movie, to me, focused more on some of the trivial points from the book and left a lot of the more important points out and adding scenes not in the book, therefore made the movie a little confusing for the people who have read the book. Even if you didn't read the book, the movie left you wondering how much better could this 2 hr 30 min film be. If you want to be swept away for 2 1/2 hours, this is a descent movie to watch.
