Not as much action as the book (or the last movies) but very well done. That said, even and 153 min. long this is more the cliff notes than the book. I think the drama was very well done, equal too or better than the book. Avoid AMC! They did not have separate seating, so the people with the tickets to the small screens all crowed into the main theater, leaving no seats for those with tickets to that room. No more AMC for me.
