Decent. good depiction of the book, but missing the feeling

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2012)

After hearing all the hype about the book series and then later, the movie, i finally decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised about how much i enjoyed the books and i finished them all rather quickly as I liked them so much i could barely put them down, after reading them i was excited to see the movie and see if it all played out how i had imagined it.
The movie did portray the scenes quite well, many of them looked just like how i had imagined them in the book, however it lacked the feel that i got from the novels, most, if not all, of the scenes from the book that had a lot of feeling and build up felt completely flat in the movie, they did not have the significance or feeling that they were meant to have.
If you have read the books, and enjoyed them a lot, i don't believe you will like this movie very much, for the reasons i have stated above.
If you have not read the series, i believe you will enjoy it quite a bit and i encourage you to go and see it. Beware some scenes can be quite gruesome.
However, after all i've said, for a movie made from a book it's been done quite well, a lot better than some other book to movie conversions.
