I am so glad that this movie was made to follow the story line as close as it could be. The actors have matured and we are rewarded with their progression. The movie lived up to my every expectation. You felt as if you were part of the story. It was worth only getting a couple of hours sleep. I am going back to see it a second time during this week. What a ride. It is bittersweet knowing that this wonderful story that made our teens want to read again is coming to an end. I am happy to say that I am blessed to be able to share this and the previous movies with my 18 year old and his close friends. J. K. as a parent of a once young teenager, thanks for sharing your imagination with us. You are a blessing to our and their generations. Everyone young and old Go see the movie!!! It is worth it!
