I realize that everyone has read the books, etc. So, it allows you to imagine the gaps that are present in this flick. But, if you look at the movie from a purely cinematic point of view, it is a horrible movie. It was an utter waste of time.
The movie develops extremely slow. There is not an ounce of action until over an hour into the movie. Also, the lines and acting are cheesy and painful to watch. If you are a 13 yr old girl, I can see you liking this movie. But, if you are an adult with half of a brain and basic intellectual sense, you will be begging for your money back. I won't even give the third installment a breath of my time.
