I'm glad I saw it in IMAX form. you're right there. I think the movie was worth the wait. there are things they left out from book. figured it would all be in there cause they're splitting it up. Got to say, if you haven't seen any of the movies or read books....why go? I liked all the settings and really am anxious for the 2nd part to come. I don't think any other film garners this much attention. Hype? yup. well worth it too. Terrific. would I see it again? probably. ;-)
