Well, I like Peter Jackson's action-packed, visually stunning flicks just as much as the next person. For the people who were let down, let me remind you that this is an adaptation of a book that is anything but action-packed. And the only room for real visual interest is in the "in between." As someone who read and enjoyed the book, I thought the film did do it justice. I really enjoyed it. Two thumbs up! If you liked the book, go see the movie. Expect there to be a few things left out, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you haven't read the book, I still recommend it. The story is captivating. Enjoy everyone!
