OK. Not great.

Rating: 6/10 (5 August 2014)

After the really decent book to movie translations of Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hunger Games, my hopes were up, but this left me disappointed.
I've read the series. The books were engaging enough to pull me one into the next.
This movie didn't engage me in the same manner. It didn't bother me to stop it and continue the next day. Something was missing. I didn't become emotionally invested in the screen characters. The movie skipped through critical book plot events and lingered on romantic interludes. I don't know. Not holding my breath for the next movie.
