I hardly ever read for enjoyment, don’t have the patient, time or energy so that why I got the audio book :-). As all who have read/listened to the book know the book is fan-freakin-tastic! so needless to say I had higher hopes for the movie. I saw the 12am release which is typically the best, the audience is filled with people who have read the book and are more excited then you are. Anyway to the movie itself. My initial reaction was "they left so much out" I couldn’t help but get caught up in all the little and some big detail that was either omitted to changed. But after processing it I was able to really enjoy the film for what it was and get over my disappoint, I realized the only way they would be able to capture every detail was to make the movie 11 hrs long and umm I don’t think anyone could sit through that. Do I think it could have been better? Without a doubt! Did the film get its point and story across enough? Yea but… over all I liked it, I wish I loved it but I’m eagerly looking forward o the next!
