I really liked this movie. It stuck closer to the book that most of the others had. I didn't realize the length until nearly the end and I was amazed it had already been 2.5 hours. If you like the books and the movies, you'll love this one, though if you haven't read the book you might be a little confused with all the scenery changes. By the way, beautiful countryside! Where was that when I was in England? The ending was a logical place to end and the only real breaking point, if there was one at all in the book. I can't wait for the next part to come out!
