Since I have no time to read the books my review is of the movie only. I was very surprised at the PG rating for this movie. I had an idea how dark the general state of the movie would be. However, since we took our 10 year old son with us, even he would not recomend it to anyone younger than him.
Terrific movie though! Now I understand why my wife was so excited for the last book to be released. I am hoping that the last book will be made into two movies. I do not want anything left out.
