It wasn't what I expected it to be. Well, I already knew the movie wouldn't follow the book exactly, but I was actually surprised about how many important things they left out that is vital for the next movie. They added scenes that were not in the book, but they should have just left those out and added scenes that were in the book. It had humor and all, but I expected a little more action, especially the battle at the castle, and a little less focus on the love triangles b/c those created awkward moments in the film, which made the movie seem really choppy.
