Had I not read the book, I would not have understood 90% of the movie! However, the filming was amazing! I am usually disappointed with a movie after I have read the book if the movie does not accurately keep to the plot of the book. This was no exception. Huge, important sections of the book were not in the movie. I spent half an hour explaining what happened to my husband, who did not read the book and was pretty much in limbo throughout the movie. I have all the books and all the DVDs, but I won't buy this one. I hope that splitting the final book into two movies will allow Hollywood to portray the events accurately.
