As a movie, the sequencing, drama, and points of plot focus were done fairyly well - at least, in order to keep a wide variety of moviewatchers interested. However, for those hoping the movie wont stray to far from the book, you might be disappointed. There are some scenes that had nothing to do with the book, some of the best action parts in the book were missing, and the ending offered very little closure and was rather abrupt. But -it definitely kept me laughing, and trying to guess what would really happen next.
