Excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2014)

I read this book a few years ago. I can agree with the fact that some parts are left out, but that's just the way movies has to be made. When you only have around 2 hours to tell a a story that took around 8 hours to read, you have to cut stuff out. Having that said, the makers has done a great job to select what parts that should be in the film. It's a total blast of effects that truly does the books descriptions justice. I can't imagine any other way to do this film and make it more like the book.
So despite having parts of the text left out and some parts cut a bit short, it's a very good adaptation of the book!
