This was the best of the series. It was pretty true to the book. This director included most all of the important elements of the story in a very grown up intelligent way. The imagery was stunning. It was great that the director could get us to necessary points with dragging it out. He realized we know what is happening when we see it & can connect all of the dots wi/out much help. He didn't just cut out vast amts. of the book but found creative ways to include the info in a shorter form. It was very funny, & very touching. The relationship among the 3 main characters matured wonderfully in this movie. It was fabulous!! See it today!!
