Not the book

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2018)

I read the trilogy and was excited to see the first book put to film. As with all movies based on books, I went in prepared for some deviation from the original story line but wow, core plot was changed, and half of the movie was unrecognizable to me. Most of the concerns I saw with the movies plot, were explained in the book or were nonexistent in the book. The visual effects were nice, but I'll probably take what I've seen and reread the book now, envisioning the actual story myself since I was left disappointed with this one.
