I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged I was. I'm usually annoyed by how many details are left out in the movie interpretations of the books, but this one left me fairly satisfied. There were some embellishments I found completely unnecessary, but it's to be expected. The biggest disappointment is having to wait until July for part 2. The key to enjoying this movie is to NOT read the book before you go. Just enjoy the movie for it's own sake.
