So far the movie is following the book quite well -- as far as I remember. I read the book sometime in the 60's or early 70's and I think I will now read it again!
We watched Part 2 the night after it opened and the only complaint I have is not about the movie that is more than excellent, but the fact that the theater was probably less than 10% full. Everybody in the country would benefit from seeing the trilogy and right now I want to know when Part 3 can be expected!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, relevant
