The movie was certainly not light-hearted but when the movie ended, the audience made an audible awww/groan. I would have loved to see the rest of the movie despite the fact that I would have to sit for at least 5 hours. The reason I gave four stars instead of five was because the movie really did give a lot to the tent time. I know it was necessary to tell the story - just like in the book - but that part just seemed to go on for a long time.
