I loved that there was a lot of humor in the film. I had just reread the book 2 days before the movie came out. I know that there has to be things cut out for time restraints, but for people that have not read the books, it can be a bit confusing. We took someone that had not read the books and she followed it pretty well. All in all I liked the movie, and can't wait for the last 2 movies.
