It's Just a Movie, People

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2004)

I loved the movie, but truth be told, I've read all the published books. I have no idea what I would think of the movies if I didn't love the books.
I look at the movies as a supplement to the books. I know some people can go into the theatre and love it after never having read the books, but for most, it falls flat without the background the book provides.
For the loyalists who constantly say that the movie lacks what the book has, I say, you can't put it all in. If you use your imagination to enjoy the books, why can't you do the same for the movie?
I thought this was the best one so far. The movie does a great job in bringing out the main points and feeling of the book. All the characters are enjoyable, even the ones you don't like.
I was extremely excited about seeing the movie, and I left the theatre just as excited (if not more) than when I entered.
