Threw away all the magic of the book

Rating: 5/10 (28 March 2018)

So i can understand some things couldn't be shown because of licensing issues.
But to me it seems like they just decided that most of the scenes in the book, were too geek focused, and changed almost everything.
Most of the cool scenes from the book, are not in the movie, and those that are, are so changed and devoid of the magic from the book, that they are just mediocre and totally lacking.
They skipped alot of the things from the book that ensures that you are invested in the world and characters, leaving you with a rushed feeling at the end.
And those things they didn't skip, they changed halfway or fully, so the details in the story becomes something totally different.
Also, considering most of the movie is made in a 3D world, they really did nothing to wow me when i watched the 3D version.
Only reason i rate it a 5, is because the visuals are good, as is the general quality of the stuff.
But yeah, dissapointed.
