Low expectations, great outcome!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2014)

I went into this movie with a head full of bad reviews, but I decided to watch it anyways because, as I had read the books a year ago I was curious to see it.
From the get go I was pleasantly surprised at how well they adapted the story, the characters and the setting! There's no better way to put it, I simply enjoyed the movie, and it definitely did justice to the book.
I know a lot of people have unrealistic expectation when it comes to book adaptations, but this movie definitely hit the spot for me. I am looking forward to seeing the sequel! My only hope is that they will be kind enough and leave the last movie as a whole (unlike many of these franchises do).
Go see it people!
