Loved it but they missed major parts

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2004)

I really enjoyed the film, but i had to constantly keep in mind that i could read the book again if i wanted a better version. As humans we all have faults - the director and screen writer are human in the fact that they did not follow this book. Why is so important to follow it? Because it is bloody good! All of the suspense and emotion was taken out (for the most part) I would think that viewers who have not read the books would be confused at times. Curon says that the left out parts will be incorporated into another movie - but with what time? Books 4 and 5 are both longer than book 3 - so how the heck could they fit those missing parts into one of the other books? Plus there was a lot of wasted time on artsy poses and things that were not in the book- so why add it if they wanted to make it short and sweet?
aside from the missing pieces of the book - I did love the movie!
