While a little slow for some people, I felt that Part I did a much better job of capturing the depth and emotions of the first part of the book (with one notable exclusion) than movies 4 through 6. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the actor David O'Hara in a cameo role after enjoying his portrayal of Lord Surrey on the Tudors. Too bad Nighy wasn't used in the 6th film also, where his character primarily resides.
